First, the shielding properties of various material combinations are compared in order to determine a combination with high shielding performances against both neutrons and gamma-rays. It is found that a collimator consisting of borated polyethylene and lead has a high shielding performance against neutrons. Moreover, a high shielding performance against gamma-rays is obtained when a lead pipe with a radial thickness of 0.01 m is inserted into a collimation tube. Second, we demonstrate that it is possible to improve the spatial resolution to the desired level by installing a thin tubular extension structure that fits into the limited space available between the main collimator block and the tokamak device. Finally, the collimator structures that meet both the targeted spatial resolutions (< 10% of the plasma minor radius) and the targeted counting rate (105 cps order) are discussed.}, pages = {113504-1--113504-12}, title = {Conceptual Design of a Collimator for the Neutron Emission Profile Monitor in JT-60SA Using Monte-Carlo Simulations}, volume = {91}, year = {2020} }
