So it looks like my previous threshold value (-500 V) was not good. Let's set it up the -200 V. And see what happens.

The same set up as before, the distances are the same:

First he CF-243 source is far far away (sealed in the safe):

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" style="text-align: center; width: 800px; height: 100px;"
! scope="col" width="50" |  
! scope="col" width="50" |  
! scope="col" width="50" | counts/min (1 min test)
! scope="col" width="50" | counts/sec (5 min test), no source
! scope="col" width="50" | counts/min (1 min test)
! scope="col" width="50" | counts/sec (5 min test), with source on the top of detector
! scope="col" width="50" | counts/min (1 min test)

Now the CF-243 source is on the top of PS1:

Because is something wrong I decided to measure the counts rate as function of threshold energy. Maybe my threshold was incorrect.

Below are my results for n's detector with HAMAMATSU PMT (-1500 V):


So it looks like my previous threshold value (-500 V) was not good. Let's set it up the -200 V. And let's see does the n's detector sensitive to the source
