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 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):

counts/min (1 min test) counts/min (1 min test) counts/min (1 min test) counts/min (1 min test) avg counts/min
PS1
PS2
n's


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

counts/min (1 min test) counts/min (1 min test) counts/min (1 min test) counts/min (1 min test) avg counts/min
PS1 378,893 378,612 377,909 378,665 378,519.7
PS2 22,729 22,819 22,572 22,530 22,662.5
PS1+PS2 1044 1021 1023 975 1015.7
n's 200 210 228 219 214.2
