摘要: A compact X-ray detector based on the lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate scintillator (LYSO) and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) has been designed and fabricated for the hard X-ray diagnosis on the HL_2A and HL_2M Tokamak devices. The LYSO scintillator and SiPM in small dimensions were combined in a heat shrink tube package, making the detector compact and integrative. The Monte Carlo particle transport simulation tool, Geant4, was utilized for the design of the detector for the hard X-ray from 10 keV to 200 keV and the best structure scheme was presented. Finally, the detector was used to measure the photon spectrum of a 137Cs gamma source with a pre-amplifier and a multichannel amplitude analyzer. The measured spectrum is consistent with the theoretic spectrum, it has shown that the energy resolution of the detector is less than 14.8% at an energy of 662 keV.

摘要: In order to realize on-line real-time measurement of dynamic and time-sharing neutron spectrum of HL-2A, a tokamak fusion neutron spectrometer based on PXI bus was developed. It consists of electronics system and eight thermal neutron detectors, namely SP9 3He proportional counter, embedded in eight polyethylene spheres in different diameters. Response function of the eight polyethylene spheres was the key to calculate the neutron spectrum accurately. In this paper, response function of the eight polyethylene spheres is simulated by adopting Geant4 code, and neutron counts from an 241Am-Be neutron source are measured by the eight detectors. The calculated spectrum of the Am-Be neutron is accurate in 02 MeV region, and is similar to the theoretical spectrum. The tokamak fusion neutron spectrometer was used in HL-2A device to monitor the dynamic neutron spectrum of HL-2A on-line and real-time.

摘要: In order to realize the on-line real-time measurement of neutron spectrum of ITER fusion, this paper presents a multi-sphere spectrometer system which consists of eight thermal neutron detectors, namely SP9 3He proportional counter, embedded in eight different diameter polyethylene spheres. The response function of eight polyethylene spheres of multi-sphere neutron spectrometer was calculated after the simulation of the neutron transport processes in multi-sphere spectrometer by adopting software Geant4. The peak of the response function is in the low energy region for smaller diameter polyethylene sphere. As the polyethylene sphere diameter increased, the peak of the response function moves to the high energy region. The experimental calibration adopts 241Am-Be neutron source. The relative error between normalized data of experiment 4 solid angle counts and normalized data of simulated detection efficiency of 4in to 8in polyethylene sphere is from 1.152% to 12.222%.The experimental results verify the response function of the simulation. All these results provide a theoretical and experimental basis for solving the on-line real-time neutron spectrum of ITER fusion.

摘要: As a key part of the diagnosis system in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the neutron flux monitor (NFM), which measures the neutron intensity of the fusion reaction, is a Counting-Campbelling system with a large dynamic counting range. A dynamic linear calibration method is proposed in this paper to solve the problem of cross-over between the different counting and Campbelling channels, and improve the accuracy of the cross-calibration for long-term operation. The experimental results show that the NFM system with the dynamic linear calibration system can obtain the neutron flux of the fusion reactor in real time and realize the seamless measurement area connection between the two channels.
