Abstract
Neutron induced light-ion production from Iron and Bismuth at 175 MeV
Highlights
Transmutation techniques in Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS) involve high-energy neutrons, created in the protoninduced spallation of a heavy target nucleus
In this paper we present preliminary experimental double differential cross section for proton, deuteron and triton production and we compare them with a model calculation using TALYS-1.0 [9]
At the The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) neutron beam facility, a cyclotron is producing a monoenergetic proton beam that impinge on an enriched 7Li target, where neutrons are produced by the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction [3]
Summary
Transmutation techniques in Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS) involve high-energy neutrons, created in the protoninduced spallation of a heavy target nucleus. 200 MeV direct reactions models work reasonably well [1] [2], while at lower energies nuclear distortion plays a non-trivial role. This makes the 20-200 MeV region most important for new experimental cross section data. Measurements have been performed in February 2009 at TSL and include production of protons, deuterons, tritons, 3He and α particles at emitting angles between 20◦ to 160◦, in steps of 20◦, from the interaction of 175 MeV neutrons with iron and bismuth. In this paper we present preliminary experimental double differential cross section for proton, deuteron and triton production and we compare them with a model calculation using TALYS-1.0 [9]
