Abstract
Development of three calibration fields for 45, 60 and 75 MeV neutrons has been in progress at Takasaki Ion Accelerators for Advanced Radiation Application (TIARA) of JAEA-Takasaki. Achievement of the neutron calibration fields requires establishment of both measurement of neutron fluence and its monitoring technique. In order to measure the neutron fluence of main energy peak especially at a reference point on low fluence condition, a proton recoil counter telescope with high efficiency has been developed. The design of relatively large telescope components brought a high detection efficiency at the reference point with wide irradiation area at a long distance. Effective and precise measurement of the neutron fluence could be performed with uncertainties less than 6.5 % (standard deviation). For detecting neutrons without scattering near the target, a transmission type neutron fluence monitor has been newly developed to measure the neutron fluence directly at the collimator exit. Its performance such as counting rates was tested for various beam intensities.
