Light output response of BC-505 liquid scintillator

Data on the light output response of BC-505 liquid scintillator to neutrons ranging in energy from 0.5 to 12 MeV have been fitted with the parameterization of Chou using the GEANT4 toolkit to simulate the response of the scintillators. Excellent agreement is obtained with the parameters kB = 0.0061...

Description
Summary:Data on the light output response of BC-505 liquid scintillator to neutrons ranging in energy from 0.5 to 12 MeV have been fitted with the parameterization of Chou using the GEANT4 toolkit to simulate the response of the scintillators. Excellent agreement is obtained with the parameters kB = 0.0061 ± 0.0003 g cm - 2 MeV - 1 and C = ( 1.0 ± 0.1 ) × 10 - 5 g 2 cm - 4 MeV - 2 .
