    "abstract": "We present preliminary results of measurements of the quenching factor for Na\nrecoils in NaI(Tl) at room temperature, made at a dedicated neutron facility at\nthe University of Sheffield. Measurements have been performed with a 2.45 MeV\nmono-energetic neutron generator in the energy range from 10 keV to 100 keV\nnuclear recoil energy. A BC501A liquid scintillator detector was used to tag\nneutrons. Cuts on pulse-shape discrimination from the BC501A liquid\nscintillator detector and neutron time-of-flight were performed on pulses\nrecorded by a digitizer with a 2 ns sampling time. Measured quenching factors\nrange from 19% to 26%, in agreement with other experiments. From pulse-shape\nanalysis, a mean time of pulses from electron and nuclear recoils are compared\ndown to 2 keV electron equivalent energy.",
