Abstract

A measuring complex for solving problems of fast neutron spectrometry using the time-of-flight method has been developed on the basis of an ЗГП-15 electrostatic tandem accelerator operating in a pulsed mode. The pulse repetition rate of the accelerator is 2.5 MHz, and the pulse duration is τ ≤ 1 ns. The accelerator components, some features of their performance, and their main parameters are described. The complex has been used to investigate the differential neutron emission cross sections for different constructional materials. A method providing the stable performance of its measuring channels has been proposed and tested.
