PHITS including the NRT model can calculate displacement cross sections of materials for various particle irradiations in wide energy range. Recently, Nordlund et al. provided the athermal recombination corrected (arc) displacement per atom (dpa) function providing more physically realistic descriptions of primary defect creation in materials. Therefore, the arc-dpa will be used for efficient predictions of the usable lifetime of materials in various accelerator facilities. In this work, the arc-dpa function related with the defect production efficiency was implemented in the radiation damage model in PHITS. As a result, for the displacement cross sections of Cu and W under proton irradiations with energies above 100 MeV, the arc-dpa cross sections are smaller than the NRT-dpa cross sections by a factor of about 3. In this presentation, we will present the arc-dpa cross sections for proton, deuteron and heavy-ion irradiations in the energy region between 100 MeV/u and 3 GeV/u.
