First experiment at the Pohang Neutron Facility

Abstract

The Pohang Neutron Facility, which is a pulsed neutron facility based on a 100-MeV electron linear accelerator, was constructed in Korea for nuclear data production. The Pohang Neutron Facility consists of a 100-MeV electron linac, a water-cooled Ta target, and an 11-m time-of-flight path. We tested a neutron production target and measured neutron time-of-flight spectra for several samples. The flight path length was determined from the measured neutron time-of-flight spectra.
