摘要
脉冲辐射探测是探知核反应过程特征信息的主要途径之一,是核反应过程特性研究、核装置设计、运行、监测与控制不可或缺的技术手段。由核探测器、探测方法和应用技术等构成的脉冲辐射场探测技术,已成为科学研究、核技术应用、核材料分析、裂变/聚变研究和天体物理等相关核科学研究的必备技术元素。文章介绍了我国发展的瞬态核裂变、核聚变反应过程释放的脉冲中子、伽马混合辐射场探测系统和测量技术。
A direct way to obtain the characteristic information about a nuclear reaction is to detect the rays released from the reaction. To explore the performances of a prompt fission or fusion reaction, sophisticated diagnostic techniques and equipments have been developed and established in China. The diagnostic equipments can measure intense and rapidly changing neutron and gamma rays fluxes in highly mixed neutron-gamma radiation fields. They operate in current mode, and meet a Series of special needs in characteristic properties, such as selective radiation sensitivities, a wide dynamic range, a large linearity, a good neutron to gamma ray discrimination, a very fast time response, reliability, etc. Pulse radiation detection has found its various applications in scientific researches, including nuclear reaction mechanism, material analysis, and astronomy study. These diagnostic techniques and their relative detection systems, the design principle, the parameters which are important for currentmode applications are discussesd in th is paper.
