title = "Measurement of the scintillation efficiency of na recoils in nai(t1) down to 10 kev nuclear recoil energy relevant to dark matter searches",
abstract = "We present preliminary results of measurements of the quenching factor for Na recoils in NaI(T1) at room temperature, made at a dedicated neutron facility at the University of Sheffield. Measurements have been performed with a 2.45 MeV mono-energetic neutron generator in the energy range from 10 keV to 100 keV nuclear recoil energy. A BC5OlA liquid scintillator detector was used to tag neutrons. Cuts on pulse-shape discrimination from the BC501A liquid scintillator detector and neutron time-of-flight were performed on pulses recorded by a digitizer with a 2 ns sampling time. Measured quenching factors range from 19% to 26%, in agreement with other experiments. From pulseshape analysis, a mean time of pulses from electron and nuclear recoils are compared down to 2 keV electron equivalent energy.",
