This paper documents the results of experimental measurements performed with an array of multimode detectors based on the elpasolite scintillator CLYC. These measurements were performed as part of the 2013/2014 SDRD project Novel Deployment of Elpasolites as a Dual Neutron / Gamma-ray Directional Detector. This paper will be submitted to the journal Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research - A (i.e., NIM-A).
