2.45 MeV小型D-D中子管准直屏蔽结构设计

为获取小角度出射的单能中子源,采用蒙特卡罗软件对小型D-D中子管产生的能量为2.45 MeV的4立体角中子源进行了准直屏蔽结构设计。准直屏蔽结构分为准直器和捕获穴,准直器采用铁+含硼聚乙烯+铅的三层过滤结构,用于屏蔽照射野外杂散中子,捕获穴主要功能是增加反方向中子的弹性散射次数,从而降低出射束低能散射中子的比例。通过MCNP模拟得到了准直器各层材料的最佳厚度和出射孔尺寸以及捕获穴最佳结构。经验证,中子照射野处2.45 MeV的中子通量比照射野外大三个量级,中子照射野处低能中子通量比2.45 MeV的中子通量低一个量级,墙壁外总剂量率（中子+）在2.5 Gy/h以下。该研究对于小角度单能中子源的快速获取具有一定的实用价值,获取的中子源可用于中子剂量仪器有效性检验、中子监测仪性能测试等方面的研究。     

A transient process observation method based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process model

The current-mode-counting method is a new approach to observing transient processes,especially in transient nuclear fusion,based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process(NHPP)model.In this paper,a new measurement process model of the pulsed radiation field produced by transient nuclear fusion is built based on the NHPP.A simulated measurement is performed using the model,and the current signal from the detector is obtained by simulation based on Poisson process thinning.The neutron time spectrum is reconstructed and is in good agreement with the theoretical value,with its maximum error of a characteristic parameter less than 2.3%.Verification experiments were carried out on a CPNG-6 device at the China Institute of Atomic Energy,with a detection system with a nanosecond response time.The experimental charge amplitude spectra are in good agreement with those obtained by the traditional counting mode,and the characteristic parameters of the time spectrum are in good agreement with the theoretical values.This shows that the current-mode-counting method is effective for the observation of transient nuclear fusion processes.
