Abstract

We report on the new Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering detector bank recently implemented at the Bariloche electron LINAC. We show the characterization and calibration process carried out, which comprises the determinarion of the detector bank efficiency, and the evaluation of the performance of the filter difference technique. As part of the benchmarking process, polyethylene spectra were measured and analyzed, and the scattering cross sections for carbon and hydrogen were determined in the process. With the addition of this new detector bank to the existing one, we evaluate the combined capacity of the two banks.
