A detailed description of the preferred option of carrying out the invention

Figure 1 shows a device to implement the process in accordance with the present invention.

The device includes a tool for creating photon bremsstrahlung and the means to measure at least along one axis of the space of spectral and spatial distribution thus created photons.

A tool for creating photon bremsstrahlung contains 1 accelerator electron and bremsstrahlung target 2, mounted in the holder 3 target. Accelerator 1 emits electrons in the form of impulses. The pulse frequency is, for example, from 10 Hz to 300 Hz and the pulse width is equal, for example, 4.5 ISS. Electrons have energy equal to, for example, 6 MeV, 9 or 11 MeV MeV. Interacting with the brake target 2, for example with a tungsten target, electrons produce photons ph bremsstrahlung.

A tool for measuring the spectral and spatial distribution of the photon beam system contains 6 conversion and detection of neutrons and electronic chart 9 processing, the system 6 conversion and detection of neutrons contains at least two conversion targets 5 and block 10 of measurement this conversion targets are established one after another in block 10 of measurement. Each conversion target made with the possibility of generating neutron induced beyond a certain energy threshold photon beam ph, this is associated with a target energy threshold differs from one target to another. Block 10 of measurement measures the neutrons produced each conversion target 5. Unit of measurement 10 contains one or more detectors 8 running on helium 3 is Not contained in the 7 moderator of neutrons, which is surrounded by absorber 4 that absorbs thermal neutrons (neutrons of very low energy). Designed block of the detector is sensitive only to the fast neutrons and therefore only slightly influenced by the environment and the influence of slowdown that it has on the neutrons.

Conversion target 5 set on the side of the absorber 4, addressed to brake target 2. As shown in figure 2, the conversion target 5 position with alignment on the side of the absorber 4 to optimize the detection of photons ph. Perpendicular side 4 in the Central point of the conversion target 5 specifies the axis X. According to the preferred option of carrying out the invention helium detectors 8 grouped in pairs and form a three-channel measurement - one front channel, and the two rear channels. The electronic scheme 9 processing is fast electronic device that for each measurement channel i (i=l, 2, 3) contains amplifier type AND ADSF(1=1, 2, 3) (ADSF is short for "amplifier-discriminator threshold-box").

Measurement of neutrons produced in the time intervals that allow you to neglect the photon bremsstrahlung radiation emitted during the electronic impulses. Preferably these intervals chosen so as to provide enough time for neutron detectors and electronic processing circuit that these detectors and these schemes can fully show their discovery properties.

Indeed, the photon bremsstrahlung occur almost instantaneously during the interaction of electrons with brake target 2. Thus, the photon bremsstrahlung radiation emitted with the same timing as the electrons, that is, with the same width and with the same frequency. Consequently, these photon bremsstrahlung are present during the entire width of electronic impulses, which usually varies from a few microseconds to several tens of microseconds. During the e-pulse neutron completely blinded the resulting photon momenta and, therefore, do not work. Only a few tens of microseconds after the termination of the photon pulse neutron restore all its properties. Thus, the measurement of the photon and neutron component occurs only between photon momenta and preferably in the time intervals selected so that electronics processing could show their discovery properties. For this electronic circuit 9 processing includes tools M-management, which serves the command on the electronic discovery, which blocks the detection and counting of neutrons outside these time intervals. When this provision system 6 conversion and discovery of the neutron measurement cycle includes the integration of a sequence of signals detection and counting of neutrons measured between successive pulses of electrons.

For example, but not limited to, the measurement is carried out at a frequency of the electrons is equal to 90 Hz, with produce 5400 measurement cycles, and the time of data collection through a single channel measurement is 10 ISS.

Provide tools that help you to move the system 6 conversion and detection of neutrons at least along one axis of space. The movement of produce, for example, in at least one of the three perpendicular directions of space formed by direct trihedron (x, y, z), and the x axis is defined above axis. As an example, figure 3 shows the stand In a move that is managed remotely and moving system 6 conversion and detection of neutrons along the y-axis with the step of 50 mm between the first extreme position And located on -500 mm in relation to the Central position of the abscissa y=0, and the second extreme position U, located on +500 mm in relation to the Central position.

Conversion target 5 made from a material that is capable of generating induced by neutrons beyond a certain energy threshold of the photon beam ph and therefore beyond a certain energy threshold of electrons e - . Thus, consistently choose a different target, adapted to different energy thresholds of electrons to implement the process in accordance with the present invention, which allows to determine the distribution of photon flux in a wide energy range. Target 5 can be, for example, a target of uranium 238 U values of the electron energy in excess of 6 MeV, and a target of beryllium Be for energy values exceeding 1,67 MeV.

Figure 4 shows an example of spectral and spatial distribution obtained using the method in accordance with the present invention. The detector on helium 3 is Not equipped with a conversion target of uranium 238 U, move in front brake target along the y axis, which is removed on the merits of 1 m from the brake target 2. Moving targets are carried out between the marks -500 mm, and +500 mm with the step of 50 mm (see figure 3). The target is a uranium plate round shape, the radius of which is essentially equal to 50 mm, thickness of which is essentially equal to 3 mm the energy of the electrons is essentially equal to 9 MeV. Figure 4 shows the number of pulses detected helium detector, depending on the angle q aperture of the beam (the angle between the x axis and the axis determined brake target 2 & target 5).

Figure 5 for the different values of the electron energy shows the ratio R at different normalized values of the signal, measured by the method in accordance with the present invention, depending on moving targets measurement. Under this provision the device of measuring the value of R is equal to the value of the signal, measured at a given position divided by the maximum value of a signal, measured at all positions. Moving target measurement shall be along the y axis, which is removed on the merits of 1 m from the brake target 2. Moving targets are carried out between the marks -80 mm and +80 mm with a step of 10 mm Curves C1, C2 and C3 correspond to the energy of the electrons is equal to 6 MeV, 9 MeV and 11 MeV. The resulting profile is uniform for all values of energy.

The results, shown in figure 4 and 5 relate to the case when the target of the 5th dimension is the target of uranium 238 u As indicated above, such a target is preferably used for values of the electron energy greater than or equal to 6 MeV, which is the threshold energy of the isotope 238 u For energy values below 6 MeV use other targets such as targets of beryllium Be.
