Neutron production in a Pb/U-setup irradiated with 0.7–2.5GeV protons and deuterons

Neutron production and energy deposition in fissile spallation targets studied with Geant4 toolkit

“…The list of operating and proposed research spallation sources designed for using solid tungsten targets includes ISIS in RAL (England), MLNSC (USA), AUS-TRON (Austria), JNP-1 and JNP-2 (Japan) and MMF (Russia) [1]. Another project where solid material will be used for the target is ''Energy plus Transmutation'' Multipurpose Research facility in JINR (Dubna, Russia) [10]. It will operate with a lead target surrounded by a uranium blanket.…”

Study of 232 Th(n,γ) and 232 Th(n,f) reaction rates in a graphite moderated spallation neutron field produced by 1.6 GeV deuterons on lead target

“…Neutron transport cross section libraries were from the ENDF/B-VII.0 evaluation [31] and the S(a; b) thermal tables for graphite were also implemented to correctly represent thermal neutron scattering. The INCL4 intra-nuclear cascade model [32] and the ABLA fission-evaporation model [33] were chosen here to provide consistency with previous simulations of related experimental set-ups including Gamma-3 [8,10], Energy Plus Transmutation set-up [28,34,35] and Quinta assembly [22].…”

Experimental investigation and Monte Carlo simulations of radionuclide production inside the Uranium spallation target QUINTA irradiated with a 660-MeV proton beam

“…The primary beam impinges the target and a high-intensity neutron field is generated inside the setup by spallation and fission reactions. The first experiments were carried out with the GAMMA-2 setup [3], followed by GAMMA-3 [4] and Energy plus Transmutation (E+T) [5]. The latest irradiations were carried out with the QUINTA setup [6][7][8] and experiment preparations with the newest 1 e-mail: tichy@jinr.ru , 0…”
