  • Abstract
    Results of measurements of the performances of a time-of-flight neutron hodoscope consisting of 50 slabs of plastic scintillator, 100 × 2 × 5 cm3 each, are described. The efficiency and the spatial localization properties along a slab were studied with a variable energy (2.4 to 16.4 MeV) neutron beam. The hodoscope was finally used in the experiment PS 178 at the LEAR facility at CERN.
