Notes:
We have examined the feasibility of a fusion γ-ray diagnostic for the Compact Ignition Tokamak (CIT), which is expected to produce 1020 (d, t) fusion reactions per second. Gamma rays at 16.7 MeV are produced by the t(d, γ)He5 fusion reaction. A Monte Carlo coupled neutron–photon transport code is used to model the expected γ-ray spectrum incident upon a Compton spectrometer backed by a Cerenkov detector. The results indicate that a signal of ∼3×104 counts/s and a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼30 can be achieved.
