氘/固体系统异常中子测量

  • 摘要: <正> 设计了一系列的实验来观察重水电解槽和吸氘钛材料温度循环中异常中子生成现象。在电解实验中采用BORON-Ⅰ中子探测系统。该系统包括16只BF_3计数管,其2 h计数的探测极限为0.38中子/s。对于所设计的7种F及P型和Jones型实验条件,并未观察到高于BORON-Ⅰ系统探测极限的中子产额。在吸氘钛碎屑的温度循环中,采用了一台HLNCC-Ⅱ型中子探测装置。这台装置配有18只~3He计数管,用移位寄存符合单元计数。对随机中子发射率,其探测极限为0.20中子/s。选择了不同材料和样品处理程序来研究骤发中子群频率和强度的变化。设计了实验程序

     

    Abstract: A series of experiments on both D_2O electrolysis and thermal cycle of deute-rium absorbed Ti Turnings are designed to examine the anomalous phenomenain Deuterium/Solid System. A neutron detector containing 16 BF_3 tubes with adetection limit of 0.38 n/s for two hour counting is used for electrolysis expe-riments. No neutron counting rate statistically higher than detection limit isobserved from Fleischmann & Pons type experiments. An HLNCC--Ⅱ neutron dete-ctor equipped with 18 ~3He tubes and a JSR-11 shift register unit with a detectionlimit of 0.20 n/s for a two hour run are employed to study the neutron signalsin D_2 gas experiments. Different material pretreatments are selected to review thechanges in frequency and size of the neutron burst production. Experiment sequ-ence is deliberately designed to distinguish the neutron burst from fake signals,e. g. electronic noise pickup, the cosmic rays and other sources of environmentalbackground. Ten batches of dry fusion samples are tested, among them, sevenbatches with neutron burst signals occure roughly at the temperature from--100degrees centigrade to near room temperature. In the first four runs of a typicalsample batch, seven neutron bursts are observed with neutron numbers from 15to 482, which are 3 and 75 times, respectively, higher than the uncertainty ofbackground. However, no bursts happened for H_2 dummy samples running in-between and afterwards and for sample batch after certain runs.
