High-energy neutron facility at the Athens Tandem Accelerator NCSR “Demokritos”
Abstract
In the 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR “Demokritos” monoenergetic neutron beams have been produced in the energy range ∼16–19 MeV using a new Ti-tritiated target of 373 GBq activity, by means of the 3H(d,n)4He reaction. The corresponding beam energies obtained from the accel- erator, were 0.8–3.7 deuterons. The maximum flux has been determined to be of the order of 106 n/s·cm2, implementing reference reactions. An investigation of the energy dependence of the neutron fluence has been carried out with the multiple foil activation technique. The beam has been used for the measurement of (n,2n) reaction cross section on several isotopes at 16.7 and 17 MeV.
