Abstract

With the advent of new facilities for radioactive ion beams it is necessary to develop neutron detection systems integrated with charged-particle ones. The integration of the neutron signal, especially in the case of neutron-rich beams, becomes a mandatory requirement in order to study the property of the nuclear matter in extreme conditions. For this reason, new detectors using new materials have to be built. NArCoS (Neutron ARray for COrrelation Studies) is a project aimed at the design of a new detector based on stack of plastic scintillators, featuring both good energy and angular resolution sensitive both to neutrons and charged particles within the same detection cell. We present in this work new results on the Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) capabilities of two very compact detection systems: the 3×3×3 cm3 EJ 276+SiPM and the 3×3×3 cm3 EJ 276G+SiPM (the latter green shifted version). In addition, we compare new results about the energy calibration and resolution of the FARCOS correlator in the CHIFAR experiment performed at LNS.
