gamma. -ray diagnostic for the CIT

· Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)
We have examined the feasibility of a fusion ..gamma..-ray diagnostic for the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT), which is expected to produce 10/sup 20/ (d, t) fusion reactions per second. Gamma rays at 16.7 MeV are produced by the t(d, ..gamma..)He/sup 5/ fusion reaction. A Monte Carlo coupled neutron--photon transport code is used to model the expected ..gamma..-ray spectrum incident upon a Compton spectrometer backed by a Cerenkov detector. The results indicate that a signal of approx.3 x 10/sup 4/ counts/s and a signal-to-noise ratio of approx.30 can be achieved.
