Recent results of spectrum unfolding of the CATRiNA detectors

ORAL

Abstract

The CATRiNA deuterated neutron detector array at FSU has been expanded to include 16 additional EJ315 detectors, making it a powerful and sensitive neutron detector array. Neutron energies can be extracted using their pulse-height spectrum through a method known as spectrum unfolding. Characterization of the array was performed at the Edwards Accelerator Laboratory at Ohio University via reactions 9Be(d,n) and 27Al(d,n). Extraction of spectroscopic information from the 12C(d,n) reaction was also performed. In this work, results of these experiments and upgrades to the spectrum unfolding algorithm will be presented.
