摘要
This article describes a diagnostic for measuring neutron emission profile in JT-60U. The Stilbene neutron detector, developed by TRINITI laboratory in Russia, has been installed on the JT-60U Tokamak to measure the neutron emission profile for the first time. The Stilbene neutron detector is a detector which combines a Stilbene crystal scintillator with a neutron-gamma pulse shape discrimination circuit, with a very compact size. Performance tests were carried out using neutron and gamma-ray source prior to installation on JT-60U. Good gamma suppression of the Stilbene neutron detector was verified. Though the neutron emission profile obtained by Stilbene neutron detectors has error of 30% in innermost channel with a calculation using measured plasma parameters, there is an agreement within 10% error in the other channels.
