Proton and ion beams with the initial energy between 0.2 AGeV and 10 AGeV were analyzed with respect to the neutron production in different targets, the number and spatial distribution of fission acts and the energy deposited in uranium targets. In this energy range two models for the hadronic inelastic interaction are suitable: bertini cascade and binary cascade. In thin and medium thickness targets both models produce results in good agreement with the experimental data. In very thick targets the use of binary cascade gives neutron production about two times lower than the bertini cascade and the experimental data. For this reason the last model was chosen for the modeling of the hadronic inelastic interaction. In large uranium target the total number of fission acts ( the energy deposited) per incident particle, reported to the energy spent to accelerate the particle and to the total number of fission acts (the energy deposited) per incident proton with the same energy per nucleon increases with the mass number of ion. Such dependence for the number of fission acts shows a quick rise for ions until Fe, followed by a slower increase. The simulations performed show that from the point of view of the energetic balance (neglecting the problem of a suitable beam intensity) it seems more useful to accelerate at the same energy per nucleon, ions with mass number between Ca and Fe, than protons.

“…In table 3 are presented the results of the simulation, in comparison with the experimental data (taken from Ref. [2]) for proton beam with energies 1 GeV, 2.55 GeV and 3.65 GeV, interacting in a cylinder of lead with 20 cm diameter and 60 cm length. The neutrons were registered in 4π geometry.…”

“…The interaction of protons and ions (deuterons, tritium nuclei, 7 Li, 9 Be, 11 Ca) with a quasi-infinite target was simulated using GEANT4. In all calculations the cylindrical target from natural uranium with a length of 160 cm and a radius of 60 cm was considered.…”

“…Thus, it was stated in [10,11] that ions with a mass higher than that of tritium are less efficient for ADS. In [8], on the contrary, it was demonstrated that the most efficient is the relativistic 20 Ne nuclear beam with an energy of ~3 GeV/nucleon, which agrees with our preliminary results [16].…”

“…16 It can be noted that the advantages of lead-208 can be used, besides nuclear power plants, in other branches of nuclear science and technology. It seems that lead-208 as low moderating material will be preferable in the lead slowing down neutron spectrometers [19] and also in the spallation neutron sources to have the harder neutron spectra under interaction of high energy protons with liquid proton target from lead-208 [2,20].…”
