Comparison of measurements of angular hadron energy spectra, induced activity and dose with FLUKA82 calculations

Abstract

Three experiments are described in which extended targets were bombarded with high-energy protons. The experiments were simulated using the Monte Carlo hadron cascade package FLUKA82. The measured and simulated quantities included the hadron yield around a target as a function of polar angle and energy and the two-dimensional ( r − z) distributions of stars and energy deposition inside an aluminium cylinder. The agreement between the calculations and measurements is generally within experimental errors.
