Abstract

A system for measuring of absolute neutron yield and its spatial anisotropy is described. The system was developed in the LPI (Lebedev Physical Institute) and destined for study properties of neutron emission of pulse plasma installations such as Plasma Focus (PF),z-pinches and others. The system consists of transported compact activation detectors and small optically isolated neutron activation counter with 4th digit data output to LCD display. The electronic unit is built on the TTL standard. In power supply of the system the small-size accumulators are used.
