摘要: 本文叙述了用n-p散射方法刻度快中子探测器效率的基本原理、实验方法和测量结果。400 keV氘束轰击 T-Ti靶,由T(d,n)~He反应得到 15.2 MeV的中子,散射体是一个圆柱塑料闪烁体(φ2.2×3cm),飞行距离2m,时间分辨率约1.5ns,效率测量的能区范围为1—14MeV,对多次散射和几何条件作了修正,总的误差约2%。Abstract: Neutron detection efficiency is measured using a double scintillator TOF spec-trometer. The principle and the experimental results of the efficiency calibrationare given. 15.2 MeV neutrons are produced through the T(d, n)~4He reaction with 400keVdeuteron beam bombarding a T--Ti target. The hydrogen scatterer is a cylindricalplastic scintillator(φ2.2×3cm). The flight path of the n--p scattering neutron is 2 mand the time resolution is about 1.5 ns. Neutron energy range is 1--14 MeV. Thedata are also corrected for the multiple scattering and finite geometry with aMonte--Carlo code. The overall error is about 2%.
