Description
A benchmark of iron shell with a series of thickness of 3, 6, 11, 16 and 21.8 cm was established. The leakage gamma-ray energy spectrum emitted by iron sphere from D-T neutron was measured using BC-501A spectrometer, the energy range was 0.5-5 MeV. From the analysis of gamma-ray spectrum, the effect of iron shell's thickness on the spectra was found. The measured results are compared with that from calculated by using MCNP4A mode and t-2, ENDF/B-V, ENDF/B-VI and FENDL-2 data banks. The overall experimental error of gamma-ray spectrum is 4%-6%.
