TL;DR: The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) as mentioned in this paper is a highly efficient time-of-flight neutron detector for use at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
Abstract: The Modular Neutron Array (MoNA), a highly efficient time-of-flight neutron detector, is being constructed for use at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The modular design of the detector provides significant flexibility and allows the bulk of the assembly and testing to be done by undergraduates at nine of the schools participating in the project.

TL;DR: In this paper, two-neutron detection capabilities of the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) at NSCL has opened up the possibility to search for unbound nuclei which decay by the emission of two neutrons.
Abstract: Neutron decay spectroscopy has become a successful tool to explore nuclear properties of nuclei with the largest neutron-to-proton ratios. Resonances in nuclei located beyond the neutron dripline are accessible by kinematic reconstruction of the decay products. The development of two-neutron detection capabilities of the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) at NSCL has opened up the possibility to search for unbound nuclei which decay by the emission of two neutrons. Specifically this exotic decay mode was observed in 16Be and 26O.

TL;DR: In this article, the decay energy spectrum of 12 Li was measured with the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) and the Sweeper dipole superconducting magnet at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory.
Abstract: The neutron-unbound ground state and two excited states of 12 Li were formed by the two-proton removal reaction from a 53.4-MeV/u 14 B beam. The decay energy spectrum of 12 Li was measured with the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) and the Sweeper dipole superconducting magnet at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Two excited states at resonance energies of 250 ± 20 keV and 555 ± 20 keV were observed for the first time and the data are consistent with the previously reported s-wave ground state with a scattering length of a s = ―13.7 fm.
