Radioactivity Induced in a 2.5 GeV Electron Beam Dump

Creators

Description

The saturation activity of residual nuclei was estimated based on measurements when 2.5 GeV electron beams were totally absorbed in thick Al, Fe, Cu and Pb. A calculation was also made for a beam dump from 0.1 to 10 GeV using the EGS4 and PICA95 Monte Carlo codes. Above 1 GeV, the activity was constant in units of MBq.W-1. The gamma ray dose rates from the targets were calculated using these data. (author)
