摘要

具有高计数率和高时间分辨率的快速中子通量测量在托卡马克等设备中有着重要的应用。在这项研究中，实时中子和伽马分辨是在自主开发的 500-Msps 12 位数字转换器上实现的，中子和伽马光谱直接在 FPGA 上计算。利用 BC-501A 和 EJ-309 液体闪烁探测器开发了快中子通量测量系统，并在中国西南物理研究院的 HL-2 M 托卡马克上成功进行了快中子测量实验。实验结果表明，该系统获得中子和伽马能谱的时间精度为 1 毫秒。在计数率高达 1 Mcps 的情况下，能量在 50 keV 至 2.8 MeV 之间的优越性大于 1.05。

FPGA implementation of 500-MHz high-count-rate high-time-resolution real-time digital neutron-gamma discrimination for fast liquid detectors

Fast neutron flux measurements with high count rates and high time resolution have important applications in equipment such as tokamaks. In this study, real-time neutron and gamma discrimination was implemented on a self-developed 500-Msps, 12-bit digitizer, and the neutron and gamma spectra were calculated directly on an FPGA. A fast neutron flux measurement system with BC-501A and EJ-309 liquid scintillator detectors was developed and a fast neutron measurement experiment was successfully performed on the HL-2 M tokamak at the Southwestern Institute of Physics, China. The experimental results demonstrated that the system obtained the neutron and gamma spectra with a time accuracy of 1 ms. At count rates of up to 1 Mcps, the figure of merit was greater than 1.05 for energies between 50 keV and 2.8 MeV
