Measurement of Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum of 238U Induced by 2.8 MeV Neutron
-
摘要: 在中国原子能科学研究院的高压倍加器上利用中子飞行时间方法测量了2.8 MeV中子引起238U裂变的瞬发中子能谱，通过增大样品量和设计合适的屏蔽体提高了效应/本底比，使得测量数据的不确定度满足预期目标（在5.5～14 MeV能区内，能量间隔为0.5 MeV条件下能谱的不确定度小于10%）。将实验几何、中子源能量分布及角分布、探测效率、束流的时间结构等实验条件输入到MCNP程序里，模拟了出射的中子谱，模拟结果与测量结果在不确定度范围内一致，验证了在入射中子能量较低时238>U的裂变瞬发中子谱评价数据的可靠性。
The Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum (PFNS) of 238U induced by 2.8 MeV neutron was measured using the Cockcroft-Walton accelerator in China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). The signal/background ratio was improved by increasing the amount of sample mass and using an appropriate shielding system. The final uncertainty of neutron energy spectrum in 5.5～14 MeV region is less than 10% with a bin size of 0.5 MeV which has reached this project's anticipation. The experimental geometry, the angular distribution and energy distribution of neutron source, the detection efficiency and time structure of deuteron beam were inputted into the MCNP code to simulate the outgoing neutron spectrum. The simulated results agree with the experimental ones within the uncertainty. The result indicates that the evaluated PFNS for 238U at low neutron energy is reliable.Abstract: The Prompt Fission Neutron Spectrum (PFNS) of 238U induced by 2.8 MeV neutron was measured using the Cockcroft-Walton accelerator in China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE).
