 note = {During plasma experiments on EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak), the discharges heated with neutral beam injection (NBI) for plasma results in the production of 2.45 MeV deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion neutrons. In order to measure the energy spectrum of D-D fusion neutrons, a new Cs27LiYCl6:Ce (CLYC-7) crystal with 7Li-enrichment has been developed and fabricated into a CLYC-7 scintillation detector. Before utilizing this detector for studying neutron energy spectra, it is crucial to explore the response function of the detector within a relevant neutron energy range. Therefore, the detector has been experimented using the 4.5 MeV electrostatic accelerator at Peking University to investigate its response to fast neutrons, energy resolution, and pulse discrimination capability in the neutron energy range 2.07 MeV–5.51 MeV. The neutron reactions occurring within the CLYC-7 scintillator were simulated using MCNPX, focusing on the reactions 35Cl(n,p) and 35Cl(n,α), as well as the energy response curve and the contributions of different particles (protons, alphas) to the neutron spectrum. The experimental results were successfully validated on EAST, where the 2.45 MeV fusion neutron energy spectrum was measured. That demonstrates the ability of the CLYC-7 scintillation detector to diagnose the fusion neutron energy spectrum for deuterium plasma discharge.},
