摘要
This paper describes the in situ calibration of the BF3 detector system used for measuring the total neutron yield from the FTU tokamak. Two different neutron sources, 252Cf (7.23×107 n/s) and AmBe (2.18×106 n/s), were used. The calibration was performed by placing the two sources at different radial and toroidal positions inside the vacuum vessel. Data on the response of the different detectors as a function of the source position are presented. The effect of the different spectra of the neutron sources is pointed out. Finally, the procedure for the computation of the relationship between the local flux at the detectors and the total neutron yield from an extended plasma is presented.
