Focus neutron spectra. 2nd part: calculation of a distribution function of accelerated deuterons from the experimental spectra
Description
Bernstein simplifying hypotheses are used to describe the FOCUS plasma producing nuclear reactions, by means of two populations: the accelerated deuterons described by the space-time mean value of their single velocity distribution f1(E(d), theta(d)); and a beam of target deuterons with a kinetic energy E(T). The neutron spectrum S(M)(P0,E,theta(n)) being obtained by a time-of-flight measurement, a possible determination of the function f1 (E(d), theta(d)) giving the same spectrum is developed. When theta(n) is not zero, the Gauss-Legendre two-step method used for the programming allows a precise computation for the infinite branches. There is no difficulty in the case where theta(n)=0,π. A discrete solution is developed from two or three different values of theta(n) and a ten energy values with 100keV steps. The minimization leads to solving a linear system by the Gauss-Seidel method

On utilise les hypotheses simplificatrices de M.J. Bernstein pour depeindre le plasma produisant des reactions nucleaires (FOCUS), par deux populations: les deuterons acceleres decrits par la moyenne spatio-temporelle de leur distribution simple des vitesses f1(E(d), theta(d)); un faisceau de deuterons cibles, d'energie cinetique E(T). Connaissant le spectre neutronique S(M)(P0, E, theta(n)) mesure par temps de vol, on cherche a determiner la fonction f1(E(d), theta(d)) donnant le meme spectre. Dans le cas theta(n) different de zero, la programmation qui utilise une methode de Gauss-Legendre a deux etages, permet de traiter avec precision les branches infinies. Il n'y a aucun probleme dans le cas theta(n)=0,π. On procede a la discretisation du probleme en prenant deux ou trois directions en theta(n) et une dizaine de points en energie avec un ecart de 100keV. La minimisation aboutit a la resolution d'un systeme lineaire que l'on traite par la methode de Gauss-SeidelFiles
