“…These particles can be recognized on the basis of their pulse shapes. In a number of space-based instruments that detected neutrons by nuclear reactions in CsI (e.g., the SONG [11,13] and NEGA-1 [14]), neutrons were identified using the dependence of the pulse shape in CsI on the average ionization [15]. (The secondary products of neutron interactions have a higher ionization.)…”

The InterSONG instrument now being developed at the Skobel'tsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics will allow the sensitivity of experiments on solar neutrons to be significantly raised by performing measurements in the immediate neighborhood of the Sun. It is expected that this instrument will be used on the Inter-HELIOS automatic interplanetary station operating at distances of as many as 25 solar radii. The instrument is based on a LiI scintillating crystal enriched with 6 Li, and a boron-containing plastic scintillator that also acts as a fast neutron moderator. The instrument is designed to detect neutrons with energies of 0.1-100 MeV and electromagnetic radiation over the range 0.03-10 MeV.

The design of a portable high-energy (20-800 MeV) neutron spectrometer based on CsI or BaF2 is described. The particle discrimination properties of these scintillators allow the light-ion spallation products (p, d, t and alpha) from neutron interactions to be identified uniquely. One or more of the resulting pulse-height spectra can be unfolded to reveal the incident neutron spectrum. Dosimetric quantities can then be calculated based on the unfolded spectrum. Due to the high stopping power of these scintillators, modest-sized crystals are suitable for this application. Combined with advances in electronics, a lightweight instrument capable of on-line particle discrimination with a real-time display of neutron-induced count rate is feasible. Preliminary experimental data are presented, and the importance of validating MCNPX-generated response functions is discussed. A brief discussion on future work follows.
