Neutron Scaling Laws from Numerical Experiments
Experimental data of neutron yield Yn against pinch current Ipinch is assembled to produce a more global scaling law than available. From the data a mid-range point is obtained to calibrate the neutron production mechanism of the Lee Model code. This code is then used for numerical experiments...

| description | Experimental data of neutron yield Yn against
pinch current Ipinch is assembled to produce a more global
scaling law than available. From the data a mid-range point
is obtained to calibrate the neutron production mechanism
of the Lee Model code. This code is then used for
numerical experiments on a range of focus devices to
derive neutron scaling laws. The results are the following:
Yn = 2 9 1011Ipinch
4.7 and Yn = 9 9 109Ipeak
3.9. It is felt
that the scaling law with respect to Ipinch is rigorously
obtained by these numerical experiments when compared
with that obtained from measured data, which suffers from
inadequacies in the measurements of Ipinch. |
