| Zusammenfassung | Monoenergetic and white neutron beams with a maximum energy of 200 MeV are produced at the neutron beam facility of the iThemba Laboratory for Accelerator-Based Sciences (iTL) by (p, n) reactions on Li, Be and C targets. The iTL separated-sector cyclotron can accelerate protons from 25 MeV to 200 MeV. Time of flight (TOF) measurements can be carried out by increasing the time separation between proton bunches up to 500 ns with a beam pulse selector. In the present work, the methods of beam characterisation used at this facility are discussed. Comparisons with metrological standards are presented. Specific issues related to monitoring the neutron fields at different accelerator settings are analysed. |
