Development of preparation method for neutron irradiation targets using ink-jet printer

提出了一种利用喷墨打印机制备中子辐照靶材的新方法。利用研制的靶进行了中子分布的测量。与传统的以金属丝为靶材的测量方法相比，利用所研制的靶可以更方便、更精确地测量中子分布。用聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯薄膜作为中子照射靶的介质，可以同时获得能谱分布的信息。

A new preparation method of neutron irradiation targets using an ink-jet printer has been developed. Measurements of neutron distributions were performed using the developed targets. More convenient and precise measurements of neutron distribution can be obtained using the developed targets by comparison with a conventional method using metallic wires as targets. Information about distributions of energy spectra can be obtained at the same time using PET films as media of the neutron irradiation targets.
