Description

Neutron measurements can be used as an important diagnostic tool for studying beam homogeneity in Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) facility. Neutrons are produced due to fusion reaction between beam deuterons and deuterons implanted in the beam-dump. The penetration and saturation concentration of deuterium ions implanted into copper beam dump is studied using TRIM-Monte Carlo simulation code. In the present study deuterium ions are extracted from the SILHI ECR Ion source facility at Fusion Neutronics Laboratory. 2.5 MeV neutron emission from beam-target DD reaction is measured using NE-213 liquid scintillation detector. Neutron transport effects in the beam dump is investigated using MCNP code. (author)
