Measurement of residual nucleus cross sections and recoil energies in p + Fe collisions at 300, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 MeV

Abstract

Abstract. The production of residual nuclei in p + Fe collisions has been measured at GSI on the FRS facility by means of the reverse kinematic techniques at 300, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 MeV/A. The cross-sections larger than 0.01 mb of all isotopes with Z larger than 8 have been obtained. Velocity distributions were also measured. Comparisons to models describing spallation reactions and some empirical formulae often used in astrophysics are presented. These data are directly used to calculate impurety production and DPAs in a thin window as foreseen in spallation sources or accelerator-driven systems.

Benchmark study of the recent version of the PHITS code

“…The measurements were performed at Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH (GSI) using an inverse kinematics method [30,31]. Results calculated by INCL4.6 for the mass distribution of spallation products agree well with the experimental data.…”

“…Figures 9 and 10 show the mass distribution of nuclides for 300 MeV, 500 MeV, 1 GeV, and 1.5 GeV Fe(p,x) [30] and 1 GeV Pb(p,x) [31], respectively. The measurements were performed at Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH (GSI) using an inverse kinematics method [30,31].…”

Geant4 hadronic physics for space radiation environment

“…Isotopes production (X-axis, A -mass number) cross sections (Y-axis, mb) for the interactions of 1 GeV/u Fe ions in a thin hydrogen target in inverse kinematic. Points are experimental data (Villagrasa et al 2005), histograms -Geant4 simulation with BIC and BERT models. The simulation was performed for a single interaction -only models are applied and there is no particle transport.…”
