Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of research reactor slow positron source intensity prediction, and particularly relates to a slow positron source intensity simulation prediction method and system for a research reactor. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the prior art, research reactors use neutron, photon and other radiation beams generated by controllable chain fission reactions for fuel / material irradiation testing, radioisotope production, neutron analysis and other research and application work, and are important scientific research infrastructure for promoting the development of advanced nuclear energy and nuclear technology, and play a very important supporting role in advanced reactor technology research and development, medical and industrial isotope supply, nuclear medicine, material science and life science fields.

[0003] Among them, the plate-shaped fuel has a larger area-to-volume ratio and a larger heat exchange area, and is more suitable for research reactors that require high power density and high neutron flux.

[0004] As the antiparticle of electrons, positrons have the same charge, mass and spin as electrons, except that their charge is opposite. A positron beam system can achieve all the measurement and analysis methods and techniques of an electron beam system. At the same time, due to the special annihilation properties of positrons in matter, it can also obtain microscopic defect information that cannot be obtained by electron beam analysis techniques. The positron beam spectrometer can qualitatively or quantitatively analyze the information of the concentration and type of micro defects in the material, obtain the distribution of defect elements, and obtain the spatial distribution information of defect structure and characteristics from the surface to the interior of the material.

[0005] With the increasing demand for surface physics and thin film material characterization, the development of high-quality beams with sufficient beam intensity, single energy and good stability has become the development direction of experts and scholars at home and abroad. The intensity of the positron beam depends on the number of initial high-energy positrons and the slow-down efficiency of the high-energy positrons in the slow-down system. The slow positron beam generated by the slow positron source device has good consistency and strong energy adjustability, and has been widely used as a sensitive probe for detecting the surface of matter in surface physics and material science.

[0006] Compared with accelerator slow positron source devices, radioactive source slow positron source devices, etc., the slow positron source device in the research reactor is the best way to obtain high-intensity slow positron beams. The slow positron source device generates a positron beam with an intensity one order of magnitude higher than that of an accelerator, and only uses neutrons produced by a reactor to obtain a large number of positrons, which is more stable than an accelerator slow positron source.

[0007] Meanwhile, due to the complex environmental conditions in the heavy water tank of the research reactor, it is more difficult to simulate and predict the slow positron source intensity in the research reactor than in the accelerator and the slow positron source device of the radioactive source. Therefore, the slow positron source intensity simulation and prediction must be considered from the whole research reactor system, so as to accurately predict the slow positron source intensity.

[0008] Therefore, the present application designs a slow positron source intensity simulation and prediction method and system for a research reactor to overcome the above technical problems. SUMMARY

The neutron-photon coupling transport equation is solved using the Monte Carlo method. By dividing the incident particle angles on the outer surface of the statistical slow positron source device into 'a' angles, the neutron multigroup angular flux φ near the slow positron source device is obtained. ig,iaand photon multi-group angular flux φ igg,ia Information (for example, divided into g energy groups, a angular directions), taking the parameters as the interface parameters of the slow positron source device.

[0061] Here, the neutron and photon angular flux information on the surface of the slow positron source device is obtained by neutron-photon coupling transport calculation based on the research reactor core model containing the slow positron source device, and is taken as the interface parameter.

[0062] Step S3, according to the arrangement information obtained in step S1 and the information of the neutron-photon multi-group angular flux near the slow positron source device obtained in step S2, the slow positron source Monte Carlo model is constructed by using the entity geometry method.

[0063] Preferably, the arrangement information in step S3 includes the geometric size volume and material information of the slow positron source device.

[0064] Step S4, according to the neutron angular flux distribution information and the photon angular flux distribution information near the slow positron source device obtained in step S2, energy-angle double sampling is performed to obtain the energy probability density distribution function f n,ig,ia , the angle probability density distribution function f n,ia , the energy probability density distribution function f g,igg,ia , the angle probability density distribution function f g,ia of the incident photons, and the neutron-photon weight factor.
