2025-02-14 10,000 Sets of Neutron Time-of-Flight (ToF) Signals from a Photoneutron Source Driven by an 8 ps Pulsed 45 MeV Electron Beam doi:10.57760/sciencedb.j00186.00569 en This dataset is derived from neutron Time-of-Flight (ToF) measurements conducted using a photoneutron source powered by an 8 picosecond (ps) pulsed 45 MeV electron beam. The experiment was performed at the accelerator laboratory of Tsinghua University, where an ultra-short pulsed electron linear accelerator (e-LINAC) was utilized to generate electron beam pulses. These pulses were directed at a tantalum (Ta) target (φ20 mm × 16 mm cylinder) positioned approximately 2 cm in front of the e-LINAC Ti window. The interaction between the electron beam and the Ta-target facilitated the conversion of electrons to neutrons via the e→γ→n process, producing a continuous neutron energy spectrum ranging from sub-keV levels to over 10 MeV. The neutron-beam intensity reached up to 1.925 × 10^8 n/s, with an electron intensity of 0.7 nC/pulse at a repetition rate of 10 Hz.The ToF measurements were conducted over a distance of 5 meters using a neutron detection system comprising a φ100 mm × 100 mm EJ299-33A plastic scintillator coupled with a Hamamatsu R13089 photomultiplier tube (PMT). Neutron signals were acquired using a LeCroy WaveRunner 64 Mix 600 MHz oscilloscope with a sampling rate of 2.5 Giga-samples per second (Gs/s). Data acquisition was synchronized with the e-LINAC and controlled via a computer connected through the TCP/IP protocol. Offline data processing employed constant fraction timing to accurately determine the arrival times of photons or neutrons. compressed sampling; neutron ToF signal; MATLAB wangqibiao Deng Chao Wang Shujun Hu Qin Tang Yinghong Li Pengcheng Xie Bo Yang Jianbo Tuo Xianguo PUBLIC https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ dataset http://www.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1007/s41365-025-01669-5 Science Data Bank
