Research Abstract

A new preparation method of neutron irradiation targets using an ink-jet printer has been developed. Measurements of neutron distributions were performed using the developed targets. More convenient and precise measurements of neutron distribution can be obtained using the developed targets by comparison with a conventional method using metallic wires as targets. Information about distributions of energy spectra can be obtained at the same time using PET films as media of the neutron irradiation targets.
