摘要: The Dragon-I linear induction accelerator (LIA) at China Academy of Engineering Physics generates 20 MeV flash X-rays mainly for radiography applications in fluid dynamics. Its spectral information is quite important for diagnostic X-ray imaging applications, but because of its short pulse and great radiation intensity, direct measurement is impossible. In this work, we propose a new method based on transmission measurements to obtain the flash X-ray spectrum. Pure iron cylinders were used as attenuation material, and alanine dosimeters were attached on their rear bottom to record the dose after different degrees of attenuation. Iterative least square method was used to unfold the spectrum, while Geant4 Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the X-ray spectrum. The unfolded spectrum and the simulated spectrum have a high degree of consistency, with the reduced chi-square value of 0.044. This shows that the method is reliable in estimating megavoltage high-intensity X-ray spectrum.

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.
