Thanks for your reply! COuld you tell me what those informations/parameters should be so I can go look for those values?

I have a liquid scintillator, the electronics system, and a beam of neutrons from a reactor. How do I calculate the neutron flux? Cold anybody give me a formula or equation? Not this equation: phi = n X v, where phi - flux, n = number of neutrons per cm3, v = velocity of the neutrons, because I...

How do I calculate the light yield and light collection efficiency of a liquid scintillation detector? Couls someone give me a formula for that? What data do I need to calculate it? THanks a bunch!

Thanks for your reply! The expect emissions are about 350 nm wavelength. I have access to The PMT, oscilloscope, counter/timer. The source is Cf-252, in a reactor beam port, and the scintillator is a 1.5 in X 1.5 in diameter vial, attached with optical grease to a photo multiplier tube.

I'm trying to make a LSC with U-238 (non-aqueous form) dipped in the scintillating cocktail to detect fast neutrons (no thermals or epithermals, only fast) from a Cf-252 source. How do I calculate the wavelength emerging from the cocktail (assuming U-238 does not react with the cocktail)? Also...
