title = "A large area detector for high-energy neutrons",
abstract = "We present design studies, results of test measurements, and Monte Carlo simulations which served as a basis for the realization of a large area neutron detector (LAND). It has a front area of 2m×2m and a depth of 1 m, and features a multilayer structure of passive converter and active scintillator material. The detector is subdivided in independently operating paddles which allow time-of-flight and position measurement. An energy resolution of ΔTn/Tn=5.3% for a flight path of 15 m and an overall detection efficiency of ε{lunate} ≈ 1 is anticipated for neutrons with Tn ≈ 1 GeV. The operation of LAND at the SIS facility of GSI is described.",
