Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators …, 2016•ElsevierIn order to test the capabilities of Barium Fluoride (BaF 2) crystal for dark matter direct
detection, nuclear recoils are studied with mono-energetic neutron beam. The energy
spectra of nuclear recoils, quenching factors for elastic scattering neutrons and
discrimination capability between neutron inelastic scattering events and γ events are
obtained for various recoil energies of the F content in BaF 2.
