Technical Field

Background
The near-earth space atmospheric neutrons can induce a variety of radiation effects for aircraft electronics, including but not limited to single event effects, displacement damage, and total dose effects, with the single event effect being the predominant. The effect can cause serious consequences such as Single Event Upset (SEU) of a memory in the aircraft, Single Event Burnout (SEB) of a power field effect tube, Single Event Lockout (SEL) of a CMOS device and the like. Thermal neutrons in the atmosphere of the near-earth space are the main cause of inducing single event upset.
The development of neutron-induced single event effect experiments is a necessary measure for preventing hazardous consequences and improving the safety and reliability of the aircraft. The existing experimental approaches mainly comprise two approaches of an actual flight experiment and a ground equivalent simulation experiment.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects to be solved by the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The core idea of the invention is to adopt a movable neutron moderating body array to moderate fast neutron beams generated by a miniaturized neutron source to a plurality of energy sections, thereby meeting the simulation requirement of the near-earth space multi-energy section neutron radiation environment.
Example 1
The present embodiment provides a near-earth space multi-energy band neutron radiation environment simulation system, referring to fig. 1, the near-earth space multi-energy band neutron radiation environment simulation system includes: the neutron source device comprises a miniaturized neutron source 1, a neutron moderating body array 2, a control driving unit 3, a motion execution unit 4 and a neutron energy and flow intensity detection unit 5.
The miniaturized neutron source 1 is used for generating fast neutron beams. The existing known devices capable of generating fast neutron beams can be used as the miniaturized neutron source of the invention, such as self-sealing neutron tubes, radioactive isotope neutron sources and the like.
And the neutron moderating body array 2 is used for moderating the fast neutron beam generated by the miniaturized neutron source 1 to a set energy section. Neutron moderation refers to the phenomenon in which neutrons collide with the nuclei of the medium, causing the energy of the neutrons to be reduced and slowed down. In the invention, the moderator material which can be used comprises heavy water, polyethylene, lead and the like, and can be made into a block shape according to the requirement, and the block shape is placed in the emitting direction of the neutron source to moderate the neutron beam.
And the control driving unit 3 is used for controlling and driving the miniaturized neutron source 1 to generate a fast neutron beam with set flow intensity and controlling the position of the neutron moderating body array 2. The control drive unit comprises a control computer and a high-voltage power supply, wherein the control computer sets the output voltage of the high-voltage power supply.
And the motion execution unit 4 is used for receiving a signal for controlling the driving unit 3 and driving the neutron moderating body array 2 to move. The motion execution unit 4 of the invention consists of an electric control translation table, an electric control lifting table and an electric control rotary table.
The neutron energy and current intensity detection unit 5 comprises a neutron detector and a signal output component, is used for detecting the energy and current intensity of the emitted multi-energy-band neutron beam, and feeds back information to the control driving unit 3.
Wherein the control drive unit 3 is connected with the miniaturized neutron source 1 and the motion execution unit 4. As an implementable solution, the control drive unit 3 is connected to the miniaturized neutron source 1 and the motion execution unit 4 via a first data line. The computer in the control driving unit 3 sets the output voltage of the high-voltage power supply, controls and drives the miniaturized neutron source 1 to generate a fast neutron beam with set flow intensity, and controls the computer in the control driving unit 3 to control the electric control translation table, the electric control lifting table and the electric control rotary table of the motion execution unit 4 to move so as to drive the neutron moderating body array 2 to move.

The electronic control translation table, the electronic control lifting table and the electronic control rotary table of the motion execution unit 4 drive the neutron moderator array 2 to move.
The neutron energy and current intensity detection unit 5 is connected with the control drive unit 3. As an implementable technical solution, the neutron energy and current intensity detection unit 5 is connected to the control drive unit 3 through a third data line. The neutron detector in the neutron energy and current intensity detection unit 5 detects the energy and current intensity of the neutron beam current in the emergent multi-energy section, and the information is fed back to the control drive unit 3 through the signal output component.
When the neutron moderating device is used, the control driving unit 3 controls and drives the miniaturized neutron source 1 to generate fast neutron beams with set flow intensity and controls the position of the neutron moderating body array 2. The miniaturized neutron source 1 generates fast neutron beams, and the fast neutron beams passing through a proper part of the neutron moderating body array 2 moderate the fast neutron beams generated by the miniaturized neutron source 1 to a set energy section for transmission output. The motion execution unit 4 receives signals of the control driving unit 3, drives the neutron moderating body array 2 to a selected position, receives fast neutron beam incident generated by the miniaturized neutron source 1, and the fast neutron beam is output after being moderated to reach a set energy section, so that a neutron radiation environment is provided. The neutron energy and current intensity detection unit 5 detects the energy and current intensity of the emergent multi-energy-cutoff neutron beam current and feeds back information to the control drive unit 3.
The neutron radiation environment simulation system adopts a miniaturized neutron source including but not limited to a deuterium-tritium neutron tube and the like, and realizes neutron radiation environment simulation with relatively low construction and use cost under a laboratory environment with limited floor space.
In addition, the neutron moderator array is adopted, and the fast neutron beam current generated by the miniaturized neutron source is moderated to a set energy section through a proper moderator by position movement, so that the neutron radiation environment simulation of the multi-energy section is realized at relatively low construction and use cost.
