Abstract

Abstract A single-crystal diamond detector is fabricated to diagnose 14.1 MeV deuterium–tritium (D-T) fusion neutrons. The size of its diamond film is 4.5 mm × 4.5 mm × 500 μm. This film is sandwiched by a flat, strip-patterned gold electrode. The dark current of this detector is experimentally measured to be lower than 0.1 nA under an electric field of 30 kV cm−1. This diamond detector is used to measure D-T fusion neutrons with a flux of about 7.5 × 105 s–1 cm–2. The pronounced peak with a central energy of 8.28 MeV characterizing the C 12 n , α B 9 e reaction in the neutron energy spectrum is experimentally diagnosed, and the energy resolution is better than 1.69%, which is the best result reported so far using a diamond detector. A clear peak with a central energy of 6.52 MeV characterizing the C 12 n , n 3 α reaction is also identified with an energy resolution of better than 7.67%.
