First steps on Neutron emission in the proton-induced fission of 238U

Abstract



We have refurbished and tested a neutron array composed of 81 BC400 plastic scintillator detectors dedicated for neutron measurements in future fusion-fission experiments. The Neutron Array (NA) detectors, installed at the 9MV Tandem accelerator facility of the Horia Hulubei National Institute for R&D in Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH), have been refurbished and the data acquisition system has been updated (from NSCL). We present the characteristics and performances of the NA and of the associated electronics and a TOF test experiment results.
