Analyses were made for the decay rate of D-D neutrons produced by beam-plasma interaction following NB turn-off, i.e., experimentally observed neutron decay rates were compared with those predicted by a classical slowing-down model. The results suggest the beam ions decelerate without significant loss in the HL-2A tokamak in round terms. When the critical energy for beam ions is higher than the beam injection energy, it seems that a small fraction of the beam ions is lost.}, title = {Experimental Check of Deceleration of Neutral Beam-Injected Energetic Ions in the HL-2A Tokamak}, volume = {Vol.6}, year = {2011} }
