Scheme design for neutron beam shaping assembly based on D-Be compact fast neutron source by WANG Jia, ZHANG Zixiong, LI Kaixuan, PAN Yangxuan, WEI Qianglin, LIU Yibao

“…Then, a scheme design for BSA was carried out using a 1.45 MeV, 30 mA deuterium beam to bombard a 9 μm thin beryllium target, and set a basis BSA model with a cylindrical structure as a whole.ResultsThe simulation results show that using a 20 cm thick BiF3 and 30 cm thick MgF2 combined slowing layer, a 30 cm thick Pb reflector layer, a 9 cm thick MgF2 supplementary slowing layer, and a 0.2 mm thick Cd thermal neutron absorption layer, the outlet is ensured to γ and fast neutron composition, Φepi/Φth, Φepi/Φfast meets the recommended values of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency).ConclusionsThis study obtained the neutron spectra and BSA specific design scheme of low-energy deuterium beams and thin beryllium targets, providing data reference for the slowing shaping of neutrons in D-Be neutron sources and supporting subsequent research on D-Be sources.…”
