Description

Measurements of sample activation by nuclear reaction from MeV particles in the JET tokamak are reported. The samples are used as flux monitors for fusion plasma particles in the MeV energy range. Activation products generated by MeV neutrons, protons and deuterons were found and two nuclear reactions possibly due to α particles were registered, though at a level close to the detection limit
