Abstract A procedure for separating one- and two-neutron events using the number of active cells and the number and shape of clusters is described. This procedure is effective also in the case of identical neutron energies, when criteria based on time-of-flight information fail. The results of Monte Carlo simulation with the Geant4 toolkit of the interaction of single and pairwise neutrons with energies from 0.5 to 4 GeV in a 16‑layer neutron detector are presented.
