The energy calibration of the EJ-301 liquid scintillation detector system for perpendicular CNES was performed on an accelerator-based D–D neutron source. We installed two EJ-301 liquid scintillation detectors, which view the LHD plasma vertically from the lower side through the multichannel collimator. The D–D neutron energy spectrum was measured in a deuterium perpendicular-neutral-beam-heated deuterium plasma. By the derivative unfolding technique, it was found that the D–D neutron energy spectrum had a double-humped shape with peaks at ∼2.33 and ∼2.65 MeV. D–D neutron energy spectrum was calculated based on the fast ion distribution function using guiding center orbit-following models considering the detector’s energy resolution. The calculated peak energies in the D–D neutron energy spectrum almost match the experiment. In addition, a feasibility study toward the measurement of the energy distribution of ion-cyclotron-range-of-frequency-wave-accelerated beam ions was performed.}, title = {Initial operation of perpendicular line-of-sight compact neutron emission spectrometer in the large helical device}, volume = {93}, year = {2022} }
