Keywords:neutron beam, cold neutron moderator, mesitylene

In this presentation, the results of neutron moderation properties of cold mesitylene moderator will be presented. In this research, mesitylene cold moderator vessel was surrounded by B4C-rubber to capture neutrons moderated outside of the mesitylene. TOF spectra and intensity distribution of neutron will be reported for various mesitylene temperature.
