Research Abstract |
The down scattered neutron (DSN) which is generated in the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiment, has been aimed to be measured. The DSN is generated by elastic collision between fusion neutron and fuel deuterium atom, thus the energy of the DSN is low. The detection of the DSN has been challenging subject because, the amount of DSN is quite low thus the high sensitivity is required, the energy of DSN is low thus the high sensitivity for low energy neutron, the DSN will arrive at the detector after the primary neutron which amount is 1000 times higher than DSN thus very excellent time resolution is necessary. We have been developed the DSN detector in three years, and finally we succeeded to detect DSN. This detector will be utilized into the ICF experiment.
