A novel gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator based on linear alkylbenzene intended for use in a large-scale neutrino experiment Daya Bay has been studied. The study results show a high efficiency of thermal neutron detection using the novel liquid scintillator and make it possible to recommend this...
