Experimental Research on Optimization of Neutron Yield From PF-360 Machine

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Soltan Institute of Nuclear Studies as follows: The contractor will investigate new techniques in order to overcome the neutron saturation effect and to increase the maximum neutron yield. The PF-360 machine will be modified and additional measuring equipment for neutron studies will be installed. Neutron measurements will be performed under selected experimental conditions and used for optimization of neutron yields by the application of gas-puffed targets or special cryogenic targets, and by modifications of the electrode-insulator configuration.
