Scientific paper

The Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) is a 159-element 4π barium fluoride array designed to study neutron capture on small quantities of radioactive material. It is being built on a 20m neutron flight path which views the "upper tier" water moderator at the Manuel J. Lujan Jr. Neutron Scattering Center at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. Monte Carlo calculations have suggested ways to minimize backgrounds due to neutron scattering events. Preliminary data on an 8 mg sample of 234U and a 0.5 mg sample of 151Sm have been taken using C6D6 detectors.
