BF3长计数器效率刻度及其应用

Efficiency Calibration of BF3 Long Counter and Its Application

  • 摘要: 利用238U裂变反应,通过测量裂变碎块的数量,能够较为准确地测量快中子注量。但这种方法在中子能量为1.6 MeV以下(裂变道未开或处于裂变截面第1个台阶上升处)和6.0~7.0 MeV能区(第2个台阶上升处)由于不确定度过大而不适用。本工作采用4种不同的核反应作中子源,对北京大学4.5 MV 静电加速器中子实验大厅的BF3长计数器的相对效率进行了刻度。将238U(n,f)反应与相对效率已知的BF3长计数器相结合,解决了在上述能区准确测量中子注量的问题。

     

    Abstract: The absolute neutron fluence can be determined by the 238U(n,f) cross-section and the number of the fission fragments. But this method can’t be used in the neutron energy ranges of En<1.6 MeV and 6.0 MeV<En<7.0 MeV. Using four nuclear reactions as neutron source, the relative efficiency of BF3 long counter in the neutron hall of 4.5 MV Van de Graaf accelerator at Peking University was calibrated. The absolute neutron fluence in the above mentioned energy ranges can be determined by the combination of the 238U(n,f) reaction and the calibrated BF3 long counter.
