The invention discloses a method for measuring a (n, alpha) reaction angle differential cross section, and belongs to the technical field of
nuclear data measurement.
Anode pulse rising time and
anode amplitude are obtained through measurement of a screen grid
ionization chamber and a gas sample, the projection length, parallel to the
neutron incidence direction, of a
nuclear reaction event track is obtained through the
anode pulse rising time, and one projection length corresponds to two
alpha particle emergence angles; the events with the same projection length and different
alpha particle emergent angles can be distinguished according to different
anode amplitudes, so that according to the anode amplitude-anode
pulse rise time two-dimensional spectrum, the events with different
alpha particle emergent angles are divided through the V-shaped event area on the two-dimensional spectrum to obtain the number of events; and the to-be-measured reaction angle differential cross section can be obtained by combining the to-be-measured reaction nuclear number and the corresponding
neutron flux. The device can be used for measuring the angle differential cross section of (n, alpha) reaction, and has the characteristics that the number of nucleuses of a sample to be measured is large, the detection efficiency is high, and the device is not limited by the placement angle of a
detector.
