摘要：A double gap Bakelite Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with common readout
has been exposed to the radiation emitted from a 252Cf source to measure its neutron
and sensitivity. RPC signals were triggered by ssion events detected using BaF2
scintillators. A GEANT 3.21 Monte Carlo code with MICAP interface estimated the
and neutron contributions to the total number of collected RPC signals. A neutron
sensitivity sn = 0:46 10−3 at 2 MeV and a sensitivity s = 12:610−3 at 1:5
MeV have been measured for the double gap con guration.
