The response of NE-228A, NE-228, NE-224, and NE-102 scintillators to protons from 2.43 to 19.55 MeV
TLDR
In this paper, the neutrons were obtained from the T(d, n)α reaction and the measured response (in units of electron energy) for protons above 5 MeV in NE- 102 is about 8% higher than that assumed in popular computer programs for calculating the neutron detection efficiency of plastic scintillators.About:

Improved predections of neutron detection efficiency for hydrocarbon scintillators from 1 MeV to about 300 MeV
TL;DR: Several improvements have been made to the Monte-Carlo neutron detector efficiency code of Stanton to provide improved agreement with several different detector efficiency measurements as mentioned in this paper, including a re-adjustment of the inelastic cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on carbon, adoption of new light-response functions, use of relativistic kinematics, and exact determination of light deposited by escaping charged particles.

TL;DR: In this article, the relative weight of the interaction channel C-12(n,n'gamma) in the organic liquid scintillator was determined experimentally, taking into account observed saturation effects in the detector output, a calibration method was proposed for high light outputs, based on the energy loss of cosmic ray muons.
