摘要: A method is presented which yields time-resolved spectral distributions of fusion neutrons by an extension time flight spectroscopy. The signals various neutron detectors placed at optimized distances from the source are used. evaluation done a computer assisted Laplace transformation procedure. Applying this it possible to measure resolved spectra pulsed sources (pulse duration 50 ns 1 mu s). Five ten photomultiplier in distance range 5-100 m necessary. Time resolution better than 10 and energy 100-300 keV possible. An experimentally obtained spectrum shown. It was taken POSEIDON plasma focus exhibits characteristic features, such as emission double pulse different pulses.
