“…Since deuterium and tritium are chemically identical, the results we have found for the titanium deuteride compound should be directly applicable to tne titanium tritide compound. We have calculated the range of a 0.048 pj (300 keV) D£ ion in the titanium tritide film to be about 3 urn by using data of Gunnersen, et al, 13 and Warshaw.…”

“…Assuming an initial yield of IxlO 13 neutrons per second, the target will be useful for only about one half-life, or until the tritium loss has reduced the yield to 4xl0 12 neutrons per second. As described in the previous section, however, the target cylinder can accommodate two bands the width of the beam spot.…”

“…The Q-value of the 3 H(d,n) 4 He reaction is 17.589 MeV. At NCSR "Demokritos" neutron beam facility the reaction 3 H(d,n) 4 He is utilized by using a titanium tritide target with tritium atomic ratio (concentration) 1.543 tritium atoms per titanium atom [3]. The computational method of neutron yield for DT reaction is the same as before.…”

“…For low neutron beam energies between 120 and 650 keV neutrons can be produced by the endothermic reaction 7 Li(p,n) 7 Be. Intermediate neutron beam energies are produced by means of the d+d reaction while higher energies between 16 and 28 MeV neutrons are produced via the 3 H(d,n) 4 He reaction by using deuteron beam and TiT target [3].…”

The neutron beam facility at NCSR “Demokritos” is driven by a 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Van De Graff accelerator that provides continuous, high intensity ion beams. Depending on the neutron production reaction, different energy regions of neutron beams are available. Neutron fields with well defined energies are produced by means of nuclear reactions such as: 7Li(p,n)7Be, 3H(p,n)3He, 2H(d,n)3He and 3H(d,n)4He, delivering neutrons up to the energy of ~28 MeV. In order to fully characterize the neutron beam at NCSR “Demokritos”, in the framework of the present work, the CONY C++ computer code has been developed. The implementation of the code for the 7Li(p,n)7Be and 3H(d,n)4He reactions is discussed. The method of calculation of differential neutron yields by thin and thick targets is described. Specifically, for the reaction 7Li(p,n)7Be the mathematical singularity at near threshold energies is discussed along with the method that was used as to overcome this issue. Finally, the results of the code including the double differential neutron yields, the neutron beam energy distribution at the sample position and the total neutron yields have been compared with experimental data as well as with the results of the NeuSDesc software (JRC-IRMM: Neutron Source Description).
