Study on the method with associated particle for measuring the neutron yield of D-D neutron generator

摘要

A measuring method with associated particles has been developed and tested to monitor the D-D neutron yield at a ZF-300 intense neutron generator in Lanzhou University. The experiment has been carried out in an environment of 236 keV and 0.5 mA of deuteron beam with a thick titanium-filmed target of molybdenum substrate at 135° for proton emission. All correction factors, including anisotropy factors and the yield ratio of neutron and proton, have been calculated, and the uncertainty of calculation result has been discussed.
