Determination of Neutron Yield from ‘‘THICK’’ Be Target Irradiated with 21.5 MeV Protons Using a Proton Beam Monitoring System
摘要
The results of determining the neutron yield of the NS-21M facility, based on the I-2 linear proton accelerator and 3.8 mm thick Be target under bombardment by 21.5 MeV protons, are presented. This value was obtained by calculating the integral neutron flux passing through the front hemisphere at a specified distance from the center of the Be target relative to the average proton flux transmitted through a collimator of defined diameter. The experimental value of this quantity is
