MoNA—The Modular Neutron Array

The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA), a highly efficient time-of-flight neutron detector, is being constructed for use at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The modular design of the detector provides significant flexibility and allows the bulk of the assembly and testing to be done by undergraduates at nine of the schools participating in the project.
