Neutronic design of the ITER radial neutron camera

Spectrometric Performances of Monocrystalline Artificial Diamond Detectors Operated at High Temperature

“…1) and its operational conditions are very severe being characterized by a high flux of radiation (e.g., neutron flux n/cm s, at the collimator end [2], while the gamma flux is about ten time higher) and high temperature (100-120 C). These conditions require a proper selection of the neutron detectors to be located inside the neutron camera since the detectors must also ensure good spectrometric performances even at high temperature.…”

Preliminary neutronic analyses of ITER high resolution neutron spectrometer collimator

“…The source is 14 MeV mono-energetic emitting isotropically. In a previous study [4], it was shown that for deep penetration streaming only a limited portion of plasma contribute to the result. Hard variance reduction technique has been used as well to have a satisfactory statistical error.…”

Imaging of Radiation Accidents and Radioactive Contamination Using Scintillators

“…For this reason, neutron diagnostics is an indispensable tool for both inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and magnetic confinement fusion research (Cheon et al, 2008;Glebov et al, 2006;K.A. Tanaka et al, 2004;Lerche et al, 1995;Petrizzi et al, 2007;Ress et al, 1988). In particular, the observation of scattered neutrons from the high-density imploded deuterium plasma in laser fusion experiments is desired (Izumi et al, 2003).…”
