The CLYC scintillator has the capability to identify gamma rays and fast/thermal neutrons and it is characterized by a good properties for the gamma ray detection. In this work, the response to thermal and fast neutrons of two CLYC 1''x1'' crystals (one enriched with 7Li and one with 6Li) was measured. The thermal neutrons were measured using both detectors. The measurements of fast neutrons were performed at Neutron Generator facility (Frascati, Italy) and at CN accelerator of LNL. At the neutron generator facility, neutrons at 2.5 and 14.1 MeV were measured. The response to fast neutrons was measured also from 1.9 MeV up to 3.8 MeV at LNL.

Abstract
The CLYC scintillator has the capability to identify gamma rays and fast/thermal neutrons and it is characterized by a good properties for the gamma ray detection. In this work, the response to thermal and fast neutrons of two CLYC 1''x1'' crystals (one enriched with 7Li and one with 6Li) was measured. The thermal neutrons were measured using both detectors. The measurements of fast neutrons were performed at Neutron Generator facility (Frascati, Italy) and at CN accelerator of LNL. At the neutron generator facility, neutrons at 2.5 and 14.1 MeV were measured. The response to fast neutrons was measured also from 1.9 MeV up to 3.8 MeV at LNL.
