Neutron yield determination Tokamak Neutron camera Absolutely calibrated spectrometer

Neutron emission profile Δp is derived from neutron camera data Δp = ±0.15 Uncertainty in Δp is normally around 0.01 Only the shape of the neutron emission profile is needed Neutron emission profile reconstruction from neutron camera data

MPR efficiency and count rate Efficiency calculated from first principles Depends on well known quantities Spectrometer able to separate direct and scattered events 2.5% uncertainty Scattered events Direct events (C)

Scattering Schematic Transmission 13% Attenuation 20% Direct Backscatter < 1% Inscatter (port) 2% Target foil Collimation Vacuum vessel Plasma (neutron source) Neutron trajectories Inscatter (collimator) 7%

MCNP model layout Horizontal cut Vertical cut

Scattering and transmission is profile dependent (small corrections) Optimal LOS should minimizes s, t, Δp and Δst Profile dependence on the scattered flux

Results TTEDTE1

Systematic uncertainties Uncertainties are uncorrelated and well defined Efficiency (e) = 2.5% Scattering, attenuation and transmission (t)+ (s) + (a) = 4% Neutron emission profile and LOS (p reference ) = 3% Background corrections (C) = 0 - 3% Resulting systematic error = %

Summary A method to determine the 14-MeV n rate (power) using an absolutely calibrated spectrometer and a neutron camera has been developed The method provides the yield with <6.5% systematic error The method has been validated with data from JET’s DTE1 and TTE campaigns
