Development of Neutron Time-of-Flight Measurement System for 1.7-MV Tandem Proton Accelerator with Lithium Target

Abstract In this study, we developed a neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) measurement system for a 1.7-MV tandem proton accelerator with a target covered with 300-nm-thick lithium (Li) layer. With implementation of beam chopping module after its ion source, the accelerator is configured to operate in pulsed-beam mode with a pulse width
