Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An internal target placed in the chamber of a synchrotron is used as a neutron source for a spallation experiment. Moderators are used to create regions with different temperatures of neutrons. Neutron fluxes are measured using monitors (thin foils) and an HPGe detector. Monte Carlo calculations of neutron transport are used in planning the experiment.
