贫化铀球装置内的238U(n,2n)反应率实验研究

Measurement of 238U(n,2n) Reaction Rate in Depleted Uranium Sphere

  • 摘要: 采用两套不同尺寸的贫化铀球装置开展了装置内部的238U(n,2n)反应率实验研究,利用PD-300加速器D-T中子源辐照实验装置,源强变化采用伴随粒子法监测,238U圆片放置在实验装置的45°孔道内,分布在距中子源不同距离处,辐照结束后,采用HPGe探测器测量238U圆片活化γ射线。实验结果与蒙特卡罗程序模拟计算结果进行了比较和分析。结果表明,238U(n,2n)反应率实验结果与模拟计算值较吻合,238U(n,2n)反应率随球体半径r的增加,近似服从e-ar/r2分布规律。

     

    Abstract: The 238U(n,2n) reaction rates of two depleted uranium spheres were measured. The depleted uranium spheres were irradiated by D-T neutron at PD-300 accelerator. The intensity of neutron source was monitored by the associated-alpha particles from the T(d,n)He reaction. After radiation, the activated gamma rays of uranium foils in the 45° hole of uranium spheres were measured using HPGe detector. The 238U(n,2n) reaction rates of two depleted uranium spheres were calculated using Monte-Carlo simulation. It shows that the 238U(n,2n) reaction rates from experiments are agreed with the calculations. The change of 238U(n,2n) reaction rate with the radius r of depleted uranium sphere is obeyed approximately the distribution of e-ar/r2.
