Characterization of a prototype parallel-plate U fission chamber with DD and DT fusion neutron sources
V. Hagenlocker, R. A. Tinguely, X. Wang +5
The SPARC tokamak will employ U-based fission chambers (FCs) to monitor high-performance deuterium-tritium (DT) plasma operations, spanning neutron yield rates from ${\sim}…

Synthetic model of gamma-ray emission during DT experiments on the SPARC tokamak
E. Panontin, R. A. Tinguely, J. L. Ball +10
In thermonuclear plasmas, plasma ions undergoing nuclear reactions emit gamma-rays with energies in the MeV range. Their spectroscopy can convey much plasma information, such as th…

Effects of 3D printed capsule material on activation thin foil irradiation and counting for fusion neutron yield measurements
D. Lobelo, E. Panontin, X. Wang +3
Activation foils are used to independently measure the time integrated neutron yield and total fusion energy produced in both inertial and magnetic confinement fusion, making them…
