Fast neutron identification and spectroscopy is of great interest to nuclear physics experiments. Using the neutron elastic scattering, the fast neutron momentum can be measured. (Wang and Morris, 2013) introduced the theoretical concept…
The scattering of sub-GeV dark matter in direct detection experiments happens at characteristic wavelengths comparable or larger than the interparticle spacing. Collective effects in the target material must therefore be accounted for when…

We present a general method for estimating the number of particles impinging on a segmented counter or, in general, on a counter with sub-units. We account for unresolved particles, i.e., the effect of two or more particles hitting the same…
