Fig. 4

a Combined (PMT A + PMT B) neutron count rate in the region of interest (ROI) for various neutron fluxes. The red dashed line is a linear fit to the data up to a neutron flux of 2.6 × 103 n/(s·cm2). b Combined (PMT A + PMT B) PMT current for various neutron fluxes. The red dashed line is a linear fit to the full data set with the y-axis intercept set to zero. It yielded a slope of 9.611 × 10-10 C·cm2/n with R2 = 0.999986. The error bars in both figures represent the ±1 standard deviation of the statistical measurement uncertainty.
