Title: Performance simulations of the medusa neutron detector array (abstract)
Abstract: A 960-channel neutron detector array is under construction to measure various neutron reaction products from direct-drive laser-driven inertially confined fusion experiments. Analytical and Monte-Carlo model simulations have been completed which demonstrate the usefulness of this diagnostic for broad classes of fusion experiments. The modeling accounts for neutron production rate and spectra from the target and detector and acquisition electronics response. This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Inertial Confinement Fusion under Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC03-92SF19460 and the University of Rochester.
