LANDLarge area detector for high-energy neutronsΔTn/Tn = 5.3% for neutrons of Tn = 1 GeVangular resolution: 0.2° for a flight path of 15 mεn ~100% for neutrons of Tn= 1 GeVεn ~60% for neutrons of Tn= 0.2 GeV 400 photomultipliers/n(!)

Neutron energy range of 100 keV to 10 MeVangular resolution of less than 1 degreeεn =25% for neutrons of Tn=500 keVεn =40% for neutrons of Tn=1 MeVFlight path 1-2 mTime resolution 840 psPosition resolution ~7,5 сmNeutron energy is determined using ToF tecniqueVery good light-collection efficiency is required for the detection of these small signals, so a proper wrapping material and the tight fitting of the foil onto the plastic were important criteria for ensuring a sufficiently high-quality light connection.
Wrapping procedure let reduce energy threshold Foil (VM2000) has a good reflection coefficient of R > 97% for ≥ 400 nm and R = (98.5 ± 0.3)% at 430 nm

Cross-TalksIf the same neutron is registered in two or more detectors –the cross-talk effect occurs.Cross-talk: simulates registered of two or more neutrons in neighbor module leadingto a strong spurious correlation. In case of one-particle distributionthe cross-talk effects are usually small, but in femtoscopy measurementsthis effect is quite important and dangerous.

Required features for new created detector
• Neutron energy range of 3 MeV to 250 MeV
• Time resolution ~ 300 psec
(For L~2m->accuracy for neutron momentum 15-25 MeV/c)
• Position resolution one order better than module size (~ 1 cm)
• Modular structure of detector for corelation measurements
• Module shape acceptable for germetic installation -> to create germetic large acceptance detector
• Compact module(to be able to use it as a part of universal detectors within magnets)

Calibration of neutron detector
Purpose of simulation – estimation difference between neutron coordinate and recoil proton coordinate.
In framework Geant4 n+detector interaction for different neutron energy was simulated. H/C ~ BC400 (1.103). 105 neutrons for each energy. Neutrons shoot to detector centre. Event selection criteria: one proton realize after first interaction.

Conclusions 1. Principal restriction for spatial resolution for detector
< 1 cm at neutron energy < 150 MeV. 2. Expected spatial resolution for created module of
detector less than 1,5cm.
