Abstract
For higher projectile energies (up to 40 MeV) in radiation-damage studies the production cross sections for cascades (evaporation of several particles) make an appreciable contribution to the total cross section. The kinetic energy of the residual nuclei (transmutation nuclei) and of all the (charged) particles produced within a decay cascade will eventually be distributed in the material and is responsible for the radiation damage. In this note we present a procedure for the evaluation of the (Laboratory System) kineticenergy spectra of the transmutation nuclei and charged particles generated in a reaction cascade. (In addition to the damage due to the energy deposition the transmutation nuclei lead of course to a change in the chemical microstructure of the material due to their different chemical properties.)
