The detector system ofSENJU—a single-crystal time-of-flight neutron diffractometer—is described.SENJUis the first diffractometer employing a large-area two-dimensional wavelength-shifting fiber-based scintillator detector at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. Thirty-seven detectors were installed in the instrument to cover a scattering angle of 30%. The detector modules exhibited a detector efficiency of 37–47ą1% (meanąstandard deviation) for thermal neutrons, a60Co gamma-ray sensitivity of 1.4–5.1ą0.1Ũ10−6, a background count rate of 2.1–3.8ą1.0Ũ10−4cps/cm2and a tolerance to stray magnetic fields up to 120 G. The detector exhibited stable performance under the operating conditions used, such as stable count rates over 400 days and a count temperature coefficient of −0.01ą0.02%/°C at around 20 °C. The detector system and its performance metrics are presented together with the specific detector design.
