Gamma heating measurements with proportional counters

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., IL (USA). Fusion Power Program

Description

A new data acquisition technique (the continuously-varied bias-voltage acquisition mode) has been developed and tested for the low-flux broad-energy regime characteristic of existing fusion blanket mockups. This method of analysis allows for the acquisition of data spanning several orders of magnitude in energy with a single proportional counter. Utilizing this method, the gamma energy deposition in a mixed neutron and gamma field was measured. (orig.)
