Determination of heavy metal spallation reactions cross sections at 2, 2.94, 3.5 GeV deuteron beams

Abstract

Cross sections of spallation reactions of 181 Ta, 197 Au, 207 Pb, 209 Bi, 232 T h, 238 U heavy metals induced by deuterons with energy of 2, 2.94, 3.5 GeV were determined. The deuteron beams were extracted from the Nuclotron accelerator at the Laboratory of High Energy Physics, JINR, Dubna, Russia. Spallation reactions cross sections were measured using solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) and activation gamma-spectroscopy. Due to the lack of cross sections data in the range of high energies the experimental results could be added in the international database.
