ND_efficiency.html Donal,

 Here are the efficiency vs. threshold calculations for the
neutron energies listed in your proposal. I used the code written
at Kent State University by Madey et al. [NIM 161 (1979) 439-447].
Efficiencies are shown for various thresholds between one and forty
MeV (electron equivalent). These calculations are done for a neutron
bar measuring 10 cm x 10 cm x 160 cm.
