A detector for neutrons with energy greater than 1 Mev is described. The neutrons were detected by recoil protons released in paraffin which were measured in a silver-activated ZnS luminescent screen. In order to obtain the most favorable thickness of thc luminescent material for the detection of fast protons up to 11 Mev, the pulse-height distribution of the recoil protons of a Po- Be source of known intensity was measured for various thicknesses of the ZnS(Ag) layer. The investigation showed that a thickness of 15 mg/cm/sup 2/ had the greatest proton detection sensitivity and for this layer all other processes gave only a relatively small perturbation background.
