Monitoring neutron emission with efficient detectors is the most straightforward way to study physics problems such as fission of heavy nuclei, where neutrons are preferentially emitted because of the Coulomb barrier, and the (α,n) reactions. A large volume (more than 5 1) neutron detector has been realized by organic liquid scintillator: the detector shows a very good performance for high efficiency measurements at low and very low neutron rate in the 0.03 ÷ 10 MeV energy range. γ-n discrimination has been jointly performed by standard pulse shape discrimination and the digital charge comparison method, the results obtained by the two techniques are presented and discussed. A very good γ-n discrimination down to 100 kee with good efficiency has been achieved.
