title: A monitor for neutron flux measurements up to 20 MeV.
abstract: A liquid scintillation detector aimed for neutron energy and fluence measurements in the energy region <20 MeV has been calibrated using monoenergetic and white spectrum neutron fields. Careful measurements of the proton light output function and the response matrix have been performed allowing for the application of unfolding techniques using existing codes. The response matrix is used to characterise monoenergetic neutron fields produced by the T(d,n) at a low-energy deuteron accelerator installed at the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI).
