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.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
