Application of an algebraic methodology for the combination of Berthold LB6411 and WENDI-II for neutron area monitoring in D-T neutron generators and fusion facilities.

Neutron area monitors do not often have a good adjustment of their dose response functions to the ICRP74 neutron fluence-to-H*(10) conversion function between 10 and 20 MeV. The objective of this work is to establish a methodology to combine the dose response functions of Berthold LB6411 and WENDI-II, adjusting this combined function to the ICRP74 conversion function: this combination shows an almost perfect adjustment between 0.5 and 20 MeV. Thus, this article presents an easy and cheap alternative to the recalibration in D-T generators. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
