Abstract

NeuLAND (new Large-Area Neutron Detector) is the next-generation neutron detector integrated into the R3B experiment, and is a key instrument for a major part of the physics program. NeuLAND features a high detection effciency, a high resolution, and a large multi-neutronhit resolving power, achieved by a highly granular design with a total of 3000 plastic scintillator bars [1]. In January 2013 the Technical Design Report [2] has been approved by FAIR, following the recommendation by the Expert Committee Experiments (ECE) at its first meeting in November 2012.
Here we report about the progress of the NeuLAND project, which was dominated in 2012 by the transition from prototypes to mass production. During the previous year 200 NeuLAND modules and their readout were purchased and brought into operation.
