| 总结: | Title screen The aim of this work is to optimize and investigate the relationship between the collimation-filed size and their geometries and the fast-neutron intensity and their energy-spectrum. Advantageously for these purposes, a prototype of collimator was designed and constructed to simulate different geometrical and materials compositions. Beams of fast neutrons generated by the reaction 9Be(d, n) with 13.6 MeV deuteron energy were investigated. The average energy of the emitted neutrons is about 6-7 MeV. The maximum intensity was at neutron energy of 4-5 MeV. In the process of the study, experimental works were carried out with Al, Fe, Cu and Cd foils which positioned on the collimator aperture as neutron detectors. The neutron activation method and Gamma-spectrometer were deployed to determine the neutron intensities within the energy-range from thermal energies to 14 MeV. Experiments were conducted for ten different combinations of materials and geometries which can be adjusted by the removable-polyethylene collimator parts and the metal parts. It was concluded that the thermal and fast neutron flux were depended on the collimation-field size and materials, where the fast neutron flux output was about 100% more for bigger collimator 9•9 cm2 comparing with the smaller ones 5•5 cm2 . And more than 60% in case of adding Lead layers into the collimator. These results could have influential implications on the fast neutron intensities and improvement of collimation systems for fast neutron therapy. Also, it could enhance the irradiation fluxes in the irradiation channels in nuclear reactors for medical isotopes productions and material testing and other applications.
