Modelling d-Be and d-C neutron sources for SPIRAL-2

  • 1. Nuclear Data Section, IAEA

Description

SPIRAL-2 facility, which is currently under construction, will produce intense white neutron spectra using deuteron beams (30-40 MeV) bombarding thick Be and C targets. The experimental data describing neutron production and induced radioactivity in these types were studies and data were fitted to phenomenological models to be used in future calculations concerning SPIRAL-2 and similar facilities.
