Raw datasets of the response of 10B-doped MCP to neutrons from eV to MeV

The experiment used the common electronics and data acquisition systems of the Back-n facility. The output signals of the preamplifier were digitized by the readout electronics system with a 12 bit folding-ADC and a 1 GHz sampling rate.

The system was triggered by the T0 signal from the proton beam monitor, and the threshold was set to 14.6 mV to filter the electronic noise. The sampling duration was set from 2 μs before the T0 trigger to 8 μ s after the T0 trigger, and the waveform of each neutron event was recorded. Because it is difficult for MCPs to distinguish between dark counts and neutron events, the B-MCP uses a voltage of -1750 V to keepthe dark counts below 0.1 cps/cm2.
