摘要
Prototypes of several National Ignition Facility (NIF) neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) detectors have been built and tested on OMEGA. One group uses a plastic scintillator coupled with a microchannel plate (MCP) photomultiplier tube (PMT), either a single-stage (gain up to 10(3)) MCP PMT and a two-stage (gain up to 10(6)) MCP PMT. Two ultrafast scintillators-BC-422 and BC-422Q-were used. Another nTOF prototype is based on a synthetic diamond wafer produced by the chemical vapor deposition. The nTOF detectors were tested on DD (2.45 MeV) and DT (14.1 MeV) neutron-producing implosions on OMEGA. Based on the results of these tests, a set of nTOF detectors is proposed for use on the NIF to measure ion temperature and DD and DT neutron yields from 10(9) to 10(19).
