“…The comparison of the experimental pulse-height distribution with the calculated DT-neutron spectrum made it possible to improve the data on the spectrometer energy resolution. The DT-neutron spectrum was calculated by SRIANG code [20,24] using the deuteron slowing down trajectories modelled by SRIM package [25]. The trajectories modelling for the initial deuteron energy of 0.130 MeV was performed with the "Surface sputtering" computation mode activated.…”

“…The pulse-height distribution was registered with the diamond detector positioned at angle of 97 • relative to the deuteron beam direction, at the distance of 10 cm from the target (with the ratio of the detector radius to the distance from the target of 0.01). According to the calculated estimates [19,20], the adopted geometry is most convenient for spectrometer calibration, since at this angle the spectrum of DT-neutrons emitted from the target has the form of a narrow symmetric peak with the centroid of 13.988 MeV.…”

The results of testing and characterisation of the neutron spectrometer based on a diamond detector are presented. It is shown that spectrometer calibration with monoenergetic electrons and alpha-particles leads to different results. The energy resolution of the spectrometer is estimated based on the experiments with alpha-particles and with DT-neutrons from NG-150M neutron generator. It has been shown experimentally that for neutrons with an energy of 14 MeV the energy resolution of a diamond-based spectrometer is 0.6%.
