Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.02(Instruments & Instrumentation)The lack of double-differential cross-section (DDX) data for neutron production below the incident proton energy of 200 MeV hinders the validation of spallation models in technical applications, such as research and development of accelerator-driven systems (ADSs). The present study aims to obtain experimental DDX data for ADS spallation target materials in this energy region and identify issues related to the spallation models by comparing them with the analytical predictions. The DDXs for the () reactions of Pb and Bi in the 100-MeV region were measured over an angular range of 30 to 150 using the time-of-flight method. The measurements were conducted at Kyoto University utilizing the FFAG accelerator. The DDXs obtained were compared with calculation results from Monte Carlo-based spallation models and the evaluated nuclear data library, JENDL-5. Comparison between the measured DDX and analytical values based on the spallation models and evaluated nuclear data library indicated that, in general, the CEM03.03 model demonstrated the closest match to the experimental values. Additionally, the comparison highlighted several issues that need to be addressed in order to improve the reproducibility of the proton-induced neutron-production DDX in the 100 MeV region by these spallation models and evaluated nuclear data library.

Toward development of accurate deuteron nuclear data, we have been developing a computational code dedicated for the deuteron-induced reaction, called DEURACS. The author presented the developmental status and the future outlook of DEURACS in the joint session of nuclear data subcommittee and sigma special advisory committee, and contributed the outline of the presentation to Nuclear Data News. From our preceding work, it has become possible to predict the reactions on light nuclei and the reactions. These reactions are important in relation to evaluation of neutron sources and tritium production, respectively. In the future, we plan to improve theoretical models implemented in DEURACS for accurate prediction of nuclide production cross-section on medium-heavy nuclei.

In recent years, the demand for intense neutron sources has been increasing in various applications such as nuclear transmutation of high-level radioactive waste and medical radioisotopes production. Deuteron accelerator-based neutron sources are promised as one of the candidates. Therefore, we have developed a code system dedicated for the deuteron-induced reactions, called DEURACS. In the present work, we focus on deuteron-induced neutron production from Li target. The calculated double differential cross sections for reactions at incident energies of 25, 40, and 102 MeV are compared with the measured ones, and the applicability of DEURACS is discussed.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:88.78(Physics, Nuclear)In recent years, accelerator neutron sources using deuteron-induced reactions on Li, Be, C, etc., are proposed for applications in various fields. Engineering design of such facilities requires deuteron nuclear data in a broad incident energy range. We have developed a computational code system dedicated for deuteron nuclear data evaluation in combination with some theoretical models. The code system has been applied to analyses of double-differential cross sections for C, Al, and Ni at incident energies up to 100 MeV. On the other hand, there is few experimental double-differential cross sections. Therefore, double-differential thick target neutron yields for light nuclei such as Be and C are calculated and compared with experimental data. The presentation will show the validation result of the present modelling for nucleon emissions from deuteron-induced reactions through comparison with available experimental data.

Especially in light nuclei such as Be, Li, and C, nuclear reactions are complicated and difficult to estimate energy spectra of emitted particles based only on theoretical calculations Therefore development of a new technique for precise measurements of DDXc is quite important. Recently we successfully developed a new spectrometer for measurement of DDXc using a pencil-beam DT neutron source of FNS in JAERI. In the present study we carried out measurements of DDXc of Be, C, F, and Al using the spectrometer. The present technique was valid from the result of measurement for the Al(n,x) reactions. Slight differences appeared between measured data and evaluation or previous experimental values for Be(n,x) reactions at backward scattering angle and in lower energy region.

Neutron- and proton-induced evaluated nuclear data are required in a wide energy range for the design of accelerator applications. New evaluations are performed with recent progresses in the optical and pre-equilibrium model calculations. We also evaluated cross-sections for p + Li and p + Be which are highly requested from medical field. Our present high-energy nuclear data library, JENDL-4.0/HE, includes cross-sections for 132 nuclei up to 200 MeV. In this talk, we present the evaluation methods, evaluated double-differential cross-sections and results of benchmark calculations.

102-MeV deuteron-induced neutron production reactions on Li, Be, C, Al, Cu, Nb are calculated with DEURACS, which is a code system dedicated to deuteron-induced reactions. The calculation results are compared with the latest experimental data and the applicability of DEURACS to deuteron-induced neutron production reactions at around 100 MeV are investigated. As a result, the calculation using DEURACS reproduced experimental double-differential neutron production cross sections and its applicability to the reactions are validated.

Since deuteron is a weakly bound nucleus consisting of a proton and a neutron, it easily break up and emit a neutron while interacting with other nuclei. By utilizing this property, highly efficient neutron sources using deuteron accelerators have been proposed. Accurate and comprehensive nuclear data of deuteron-induced reactions are indispensable for the engineering design of such facilities. However, TENDL, which is the only deuteron nuclear data file currently available is not necessarily enough for the requirement. Under the above situation, toward development of an accurate deuteron nuclear data file, we have been developing a code system dedicated for deuteron-induced reactions, called DEURACS. The present status and the future outlook of development of DEURACS will be presented.

For accurate prediction of neutronic characteristics for accelerator-driven system (ADS), an experimental program to measure nuclear data on ADS using the Fixed Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) accelerator at Kyoto University has been launched. As a part of this program, energy spectra of spallation neutron from 100-MeV proton-induced reactions on Fe, Pb, and Bi are plan to be measured. In this report, the results of the measurement on Fe target will be presented.
