Investigation of pulsed neutron measurements on the DPF device
Scintillation detectors based on neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) were developed for pulsed neutron yield and waveform measurements of dense plasma focus (DPF) device. The neutron sensitivity of ST401 plastic scintillation detector was calibrated by current mode and modified by using nTOF method with 3.02 and 14.97 MeV pulsed neutrons produced from D(d
n)3He and T(d
n)4He reactions on the neutron generator at China Institute of Atomic Energy. It was also modified by using the neutron response function obtained with Monte-Carlo simulation. Using the scintillation detectors
the parameters of DPF such as D-T neutron yield and waveform were measured and discussed. Neutron yield ranges of DPF measured were 1×109–2×109 n/shot
