Neutron moderation properties from the cold mesitylene moderator have been studied. Kyoto University Accelerator driven Neutron Source has been used for these experiments. The container of the mesitylene moderator is situated in front of the polyethylene moderator and the change of the time of flight spectrum has been recorded as a function of the temperature of the mesitylene moderator. By fitting the Maxwell distribution to the obtained TOF spectra, the neutron temperature corresponding to the mesitylene temperature is estimated.
