Abstract
Accurate cross sections of neutron induced fission reactions are needed in the development of nuclear science and technology. The time projection chamber (TPC) is viewed as the potential detector to improve the measurement accuracy of the fission cross sections based on its track reconstruction and particle identification capabilities. The TPC developed by the back-streaming white neutron source (Back-n) team of China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) was introduced to verify its ability in measuring the cross section of fission reaction. Using our TPC, and based on the mono-energetic neutron source at Peking University and 232Th/238U samples, we have measured the cross section of the 232Th(n, f) reaction at 5.0 MeV. The fission events have been well distinguished from the background alpha events. The present cross section is consistent with the evaluation data from different libraries, which indicates that the fission cross section measurement using our TPC is feasible. By reducing the distance between the two fission samples, the large uncertainty of the present result will be reduced in future experiments.
