Abstract  We present a technology for diagnosing the D-T fusion process by detecting capture $\gamma$-rays. This technology provides an alternative route to diagnosing the D-T reaction process when a great deal of heavy Z materials surrounds the D-T region. A very important aspect of this paper is to focus on the methods of shielding low-energy $\gamma$-rays whose radiation intensity is 106 times higher than that of the capture $\gamma$-rays. Another aspect is about how to distinguish signal from noise. The result of a 50/1 signal-to-noise ratio indicates that the designed double-magnetic spectrograph is very successful for diagnosing the D-T fusion reaction process.
