Zusammenfassung:A fast neutron‐scintillation spectrometer employing two organic crystals in coincidence has been investigated experimentally. Considerations are made of some factors involved in the efficiency, resolution, neutron energy range, and background effects. The role of the carbon in the scintillation crystal is considered not to be important except in its increase of the plural scattering in the analyzing crystal. The D(d,n), T(d,n), and Li(d,n) spectra as taken with this instrument are presented.
