Abstract
Time of flight method is used to determine the emitted pulsed neutron energy spectrum from the D(D,n)3He and D(T,n)4He reactions in the IR-MPF-100 (115 kJ, 40 kV, 144 µF), dense plasma focus device (DPF). D-D and D-T neutrons were detected by NE-102 plastic scintillator photomultiplier (PS-PM) detector. The PS-PM detector has been located 2.5 m away from the focus region at the angle of 90° with respect to the device axis. Results display 1.51–2.75 MeV and 1.79–2.97 MeV energies for D-D neutrons and 12.09 ± 0.4 MeV energy for D-T neutrons. Fusion chained reactions have been studied. Scattered neutrons are detected and their energies are computed.
