The response of large deuterated liquid scintillators (up to 10 cm diameter by 15 cm) to neutrons 0.5–20 MeV has been studied using the 2.5 MeV neutron generator at the University of Michigan, and the d(d,n), 13C(d,n), 27Al(d,n) and other reactions at the University of Notre Dame FN tandem accelerat...
