TL;DR: In this article, the Fast Neutron Imaging Telescope (FNIT) was developed and tested for neutron spectroscopy and imaging in the 1-20 MeV range, and the performance of the instrument prototype was evaluated based on Monte Carlo simulations and on results from calibration tests performed in a monoenergetic neutron beam.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the design and performance of a prototype instrument with capabilities for both imaging and spectroscopy of sources of 1-10 MeV neutrons, composed of custom-designed liquid scintillator detectors and employs measurements of double neutron-proton scattering to determine the direction and energy of incident neutrons.
