Simulation of nuclear spallation yields in infinite targets irradiated by proton beams

Description

The total numbers of nuclear spallation Nsp(E0) in bulk absorbers irradiated by protons with initial energy E0 in the range from 0.1 to 10 GeV were calculated on the basis of cascade particle track length spectra, which were obtained by solving the integral energy degradation equation analytically. The data are presented in the form of Nsp(E0)/E0 for the absorber materials with the atomic weights from 14 to 238. The total numbers of evaporation (and fission) neutrons produced in inelastic interactions inside the infinite material targets were also evaluated and presented in the form of Nev(E0)/E0. These results can be useful for evaluating the efficiency of proton accelerators as basic elements in intense neutron sources. (author)
