Development of A 14.8-MEV Mono-Energetic Neutron Field in Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science

A standard irradiation field for 14.8-MeV neutrons is under development for mono-energetic neutron standards research in the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science, Republic of Korea. We developed a target chamber with the associated alpha particle (AAP) system for 14.8-MeV mono-energetic neutrons by a T(d,n)4He reaction. We designed the target chamber and the AAP detector system using a two-body kinematic calculation. We conducted simulations of the T(d,n)4He reaction on a tritiated target to determine a specification of the target and the AAP detector. This paper will discuss the simulation and calculation results for the associated particle system design.
