			= Light-Output Response =

			From page 570-571 of Radiation Detection and Measurement by Knoll, the recoil neutron energy is given as a function of the target recoil angle in the lab frame <math> \theta </math>, incident neutron energy <math> E_n </math>, and nucleon number of target nucleus <math> A </math>

			<math> E_{recoil} = \frac{4A}{(1+A)^2}cos^2\theta E_n </math>

			For maximum energy transfer, <math> \theta = 0 </math>, and

			<math> E_{recoil} = \frac{4A}{(1+A)^2} E_n </math>

			For deuterium, <math> A = 2 </math> which implies a maximum deposited neutron energy of <math> E_{recoil}/E_n = \frac{8}{9} </math>.

			From previous work, the light-output response of a given CATRiNA detector can be parameterized as a function of incident neutron energy and experimentally-extracted parameters:

			<math> LO = aE_{dep}-b(1-e^{-cE_{dep}}) </math>

			The light output parameters are given by the following table <ref name="Morelock2022">A. B. Morelock et al. NIMA '''1034''', 166759 (2022) https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2022.166759 </ref>
