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 (1). 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 (2). We present the characteristics and performances of the NA and of the associated electronics.
