Description
For the CE$\nu$NS experiments that we are developing at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), it is essential to characterize the neutrons produced at the facility. The European Spallation Source (ESS) being one of the promising experimental facilities for the observation of CE$\nu$NS, detailed simulations of the neutron background at the ESS have been performed. However, as in every experiment these will have to be corroborated with in situ measurements. A simple and useful technology to locate possible neutron hot spots or leaks, is the neutron scatter camera. This camera will be used to characterize the neutron background at the possible experimental sites in order to evaluate their feasibility and perform a careful shielding strategy. This talk aims show the operation of the 4$\pi$ coverage compact and mobile neutron camera we developed and demonstrate its capability to stop a $^{252}$Cf source located at several positions in a room.
