Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.03At CERN, gas-filled ionization chambers PTW-34031 (PMI) are commonly used in radiation fields including neutrons, protons and 
-rays. A response function for each particle is calculated by the radiation transport code FLUKA. To validate a response function to high energy neutrons, benchmark experiments with quasi mono-energetic neutrons have been carried out at RCNP, Osaka University. For neutron irradiation with energies below 200 MeV, very good agreement was found comparing the FLUKA simulations and the measurements. In addition it was found that at proton energies of 250 and 392 MeV, results calculated with neutron sources underestimate the experimental data due to a non-negligible gamma component originating from the target 
Li(p,n)Be reaction.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：30.71(Instruments & Instrumentation)Double-differential neutron yields from a water phantom bombarded with 290-MeV/nucleon and 430-MeV/nucleon carbon ions were measured at emission angles of 15
, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 using the neutron-detection system constituting of liquid organic scintillators. The angular distributions of neutron yields and effective doses around the phantom were obtained by integrating the double-differential neutron yields and applying the fluence-to-effective dose conversion coefficients. The experimental data were compared with results of the Monte-Carlo simulation code PHITS. The PHITS results showed good agreement with the measured data. From the results, we concluded that the PHITS simulation is applicable to the dose estimation at carbon-therapy facilities.

The neutron energy spectrum consisted of the peak and continuum parts and the peak intensity was 0.9-1.1

neutrons/sr/
C. The ratio of peak intensity of the spectrum to the total intensity was between 0.38 and 0.48. To consider the correction required to derive a response in the peak region from the measured total response for neutron monitors, we proposed the subtraction method using energy spectra between 0 and 25. The normalizing factor k against the 25 neutron fluence that equalizes the 0 neutron fluence in the continuum region was from 0.74 to 1.02. With our previous results, we have obtained data for characterization of monoenergetic neutron field for the Li(p,n) reaction with 80
389 MeV protons at the RCNP cyclotron facility.

Neutron energy spectra at 0 degree produced from stopping-length thick graphite, aluminum, iron and lead targets bombarded by 250 MeV and 350 MeV protons were measured at the neutron TOF course at RCNP of Osaka University. The neutron energy spectra were obtained by using the time-of-flight technique in the energy range from 10 MeV to incident proton energy. To compare the experimental results, Monte Carlo calculations by the PHITS and MCNPX codes using the JENDL-HE and the LA150 evaluated nuclear data files were performed. It was found that these calculated results at 0-degree generally underestimated the experimental results for all targets in the energy range above 20 MeV.

The first campaign of the experiment was carried out at the Pbar target station and Numi experimental station at FNAL, using antiproton and neutrino production targets irradiated by 120-GeV protons. The generated secondary particles passing through steel, concrete and rock were measured by activation methods as well as by other detectors such as scintillator with a veto counter, phoswich detector and a Bonner ball counter on trial. Preliminary experimental results are presented.

Radiation Shielding design/safety analysis required for licensing of the high intensity proton accelerator facility J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) is in progress, using various high-energy particle transport codes. Shielding benchmark problems, mainly based on experiments, on thick target neutron yield, beam dump geometry, deep penetration and radiation streaming were prepared and analyzed by the shielding design codes, in order to estimate the code's accuracy. The results of analyses show that the calculation results agree with the experiments within a factor of two on the whole.

Times Cited Count：13 Percentile：67.07(Environmental Sciences)A quasi-monoenergetic neutron field was developed using the reaction in the energy range from 250 to 390 MeV in the ring cyclotron facility at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics (RCNP), Osaka University. Neutrons were generated from a 10-mm thick Li target injected by 250, 350 and 392 MeV protons. The neutrons produced at 0 degree were extracted into the 100-m long TOF room through a 150-cm thick ironcollimator of 10 cm 12 cm aperture, and were measured by a 12.7-cm diam. 12.7-cm long NE213 organic liquid scintillator. This neutron field is very useful since experimental data for high energy neutrons in this energy region are very scarce. It has already been used for a neutron shielding experiment.

Neutron energy spectra produced at the forward direction from thick graphite, aluminum, iron and lead targets bombarded by 250 MeV protons were measured by the TOF method at RCNP of Osaka University. The experimental data were compared with the calculated results of the PHITS, MCNPX codes. All calculations give lower neutron energy spectra than the experimental ones for all targets above 20 MeV and must be improved for neutron production at 0-degree. These experimental data will be useful as benchmark data for investigating the accuracy of the Monte Carlo simulation and for the shielding design of accelerator facilities.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：44.53(Instruments & Instrumentation)Neutron energy spectra produced from thick targets play an important role in validation of calculation codes that are employed in the design of spallation neutron sources and the shielding design of accelerator facilities. However, appropriate experimental data were scarce in the forward direction for the incident energy higher than 100 MeV. In this study, neutron spectra at 0 degree from thick targets bombarded with 350 MeV protons were measured by the time-of-flight technique using an NE213. The targets used were graphite, Al, Fe and Pb and their thicknesses were chosen to be a little thicker than the stopping lengths. The experiment was carried out at the TOF course of the RCNP (Research Center of Nuclear Physics) ring cyclotron, Osaka University. The flight path length between center of the target and of an NE213 were 11.4 m for the measurement of low energy neutrons and 95 m for high energy neutrons. The experimental data are compared with the calculated results by using the Monte Carlo transport codes, such as MCNPX and PHITS codes.
