氘化闪烁体被提议作为基于质子反冲法的中子能谱仪中的探测器，作为减少背景干扰的手段。具体而言，考虑在磁质子反冲光谱仪的焦平面中使用氘化闪烁体视距仪。视距仪对信号质子和背景中子的响应是通过蒙特卡罗模拟和使用 239PuBe 源进行测量来确定的。讨论了相对于使用常规氢基闪烁体的结果，并评估了聚变中子应用的焦平面探测器的预期增益。
Deuterated scintillators are proposed as detectors in neutron spectrometers based on the proton recoil method as a means to reduce the interference from background. Specifically, the use of a deuterated scintillator hodoscope in the focal plane of a magnetic proton recoil spectrometer is considered. The response of the hodoscope to signal protons and background neutrons is determined with Monte Carlo simulations and measurements with a239PuBe source. The results are discussed relative to the use of regular hydrogen based scintillators with an assessment of the expected gain in a focal plane detector for fusion neutron applications.
