Development of fast neutron spectrometer of proportional counter and Si-detector telescope type

  • 1. Nagoya Univ. (Japan)

Description

A new type of fast neutron spectrometer composed of a proportional counter with methane and a Si semiconductor detector was constructed for the measurement of plasma-temperature. Methane can act as recoil-proton converter and also as energy loss measurement of the proton in the converter. Si detector, off-centered to avoid radiation damage, measures the rest energy of the recoil-proton. The energy resolutions were 2.4% for 5 MeV neutrons and 2.9% for 14 MeV neutrons. 4 refs., 10 figs., 1 tab
