Abstract

In this article, we describe an experimental verification of the correctness of registration of delayed neutrons from 238U photofission at a maximum energy of 10 MeV of bremsstrahlung γ quanta on a pulsed linear electron accelerator LUE-8-5 in an interval of (1–5) ms after each beam pulse at times ≳7 min from the onset of irradiation. The measurements have been carried out using the scintillation spectrometer of fast neutrons based on a single stilbene crystal with pulse shape discrimination of γ quanta and fast neutrons. The temporal dependence of the counting rate of delayed neutrons in 238U photofission has been measured at a repetition rate of 300 s–1 in a time interval of (1.25–3.30) ms after the beam pulse.
