Light-yield response of liquid scintillators using 2-6 MeV tagged neutrons

Data taken at the Source Testing Facility (STF) at Nuclear Physics, Lund University, Sweden (2021-2023). For further details regarding the experimental setup see the paper based on this data set. The code used for the analysis can be found here: https://gitlab.com/ANPLU/nppp

Data was taken and simulated for two four different detector materials: NE 213A, EJ 305, EJ 331 and EJ 321P. There are three types of data-sets: 

• DATA_gamma
• DATA_neutron
• SIMULATION_gamma
• SIMULATION_neutron

All data sets are structured as even-by-event data. All data was recorded using a CAEN VX1751 digitizer (see article). 
Every DATA_gamma set contains multiple runs (1h per run) and each run is segmented into multiple *.parquet files. 
The DATA_neutron set is segmented into 2-6.25 MeV in 250 keV bins containing the light-yield spectra and random TOF spectra used for random correlation.
The SIMULATION is done on a individual scintillation photon level and comes in a *.csv format.

Information:

• DATA_gamma: Used for calibration. Done using mono-energetic gamma sources.
• Data_neutron: Tagged neutron data from PuBe source. Format: *.csv
• SIMULATION_gamma: Used for calibration. Simulated mono-energetic gamma sources.
• SIMULATION_neutron: Simulated individual neutron energies (+/-125 keV) used to derive scintillation yield of each detector material.

File structure:

1. Scintillator type name
2. DATA or SIMULATION
3. calibration / neutrons
4. gamma source / energy

In case of SIMULATIONS_calibration there are both pencilbeam and isotropic versions.
