Description

An intense reusable source of pulsed photoneutrons has been developed for HERMES III, delivering 0.5 to 1 x 1014 n/pulse with an average kinetic-energy of 1.8 to 1.3 MeV, respectively, over a useful area of 150 cm2 in a pulse width on the order of 15 ns. Corresponding to this source, a numerical model has been developed that predicts characteristics that are in agreement with measurements. 18 refs
