N2 - Liquid scintillators are used widely for neutron detection and for the assay of nuclearmaterials. However, due to the constituents of the detector and the nitrogen void within thedetector cell, usually incorporated to accommodate any expansion that might occur to avoid leakage,fluctuations in detector response have been observed associated with the orientation of the detectorwhen in use. In this work the angular dependence of the pulse-shape discrimination performancein an EJ309 liquid scintillator has been investigated with 252Cf in terms of the separation of γ-rayand neutron events, described quantitatively by the figure-of-merit.
