The system for forming neutron fluxes consists of a monoenergetic neutron source, a graphite reflector, a polyethylene moderator, lead protection and detector. With the help of the model, a number of virtual experiments on 107 primary neutrons were carried out for the energy range of the neutron source from 0.1 to 1.1 MeV. The dependence of the ratio of the number of neutrons falling on the detector with a reflector to the number of neutrons without a reflector is determined, on the energy of the neutron source. Energy spectra of neutrons falling on the detector are determined. It was established that the graphite reflector not only increases the number of particles falling on the detector, but also moderated the energy spectrum of neutrons. The neutron background in the accelerator bunker when using a reflector decreases from 2 to 7 times, depending on the energy of the neutron source.","PeriodicalId":54580,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Atomic Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139008100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that the generated pump electric field amplitude is within 21…33% of the amplitude of the external pump electric field. We showed that the generated pump electric\u0000field is in phase with the external one. It leads to an increase in the growth increments of SCW; therefore, the length of the SCW amplification section is reduced by 22%. We found out that this field does not destroy the mode of amplification of multi-harmonic SCW. Thus, the studied effect makes it possible to create FELs with smaller longitudinal dimensions and powerful electromagnetic waves with a complex multi-harmonic spectrum.","PeriodicalId":54580,"journal":{"name":"Problems of Atomic Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139009235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
