Abstract

V originále

Using D–T generators as a neutron source for precise measurements requests a well-known neutron spectrum and spatial distribution of neutron flux. It is important in cross section measurements as well as in deep penetration issues. Thus, it is very important not only to validate the fluence accurately but also accurately validate the neutron spectrum in various positions. Experimental validation of two different D–T neutron generator experiments was performed using proton recoil method. Measurements performed at different angles and neutron generator voltages show relatively good agreement with the calculations. Despite the poor resolution, it was shown that stilbene is usable for the measurement of neutron energy shift due to changes in deuteron voltage.
