Measurement of double-differential neutron yields for iron, lead, and bismuth induced by 107-MeV protons for research and development of accelerator-driven systems

Abstract

For the research and development of accelerator-driven systems (ADSs) and fundamental ADS reactor physics research using the Kyoto University Critical Assembly combined with the fixed-field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator, we are conducting a series of experiments on double-differential neutron yields using the FFAG accelerator at Kyoto University. This paper presents an overview of the experiments together with preliminary results.
