【 摘 要 】

This report presents the results of the characterization of 11 large liquid scintillators. The neutron energy threshold and maximum detection efficiency were determined as a function of voltage and constant fraction discriminator threshold. Fits to the response of each detector were found. The results can be used to select the experimental settings in the operation of the detectors to ensure consistent response and repeatability.
