Abstract

A new fast neutron high multiplicity detector is proposed based on the measurement of the total light yielded by the neutrons in a plastic scintillator. Its performance is simulated by Monte Carlo methods and compared to existing neutron multiplicity detectors. A cost effective design for reverse kinematics heavy ion reactions is presented and connected problems discussed.
