The SciBath-768 detector is a prototype neutral particle detector offering high-precision reconstruction of neutrino and neutron events. It consists of a three dimensional grid of 768 wavelength-shifting fibers immersed in 82 liters of liquid scintillator. Initially conceived as a charged particle detector for neutrino studies, it is also sensitive to fast neutrons (1-100 MeV). Simulation results show 30% efficiency and 30% energy resolution for 1-10 MeV tagged neutron events. The apparatus has been commissioned and will be deployed in Fall 2011 to measure neutrinos and neutrons 100 meters underground in the Fermilab MINOS near-detector area.
