Diagnostics are critical on the path to commercial fusion machines, since the ability to understand and measure plasma features is important to sustaining fusion reactions. Gamma spectroscopy is a technique in experimental nuclear physics that can be used to aid fusion diagnostics, including providing information in neutron activation analyses to c…
Diagnostics are critical on the path to commercial fusion reactors, since measurements and characterisation of the plasma is important for sustaining fusion reactions. Gamma spectroscopy is commonly used to provide information about the neutron energy spectrum from activation analysis, which can be used to calculate the neutron flux and fusion powe…
