Description

Neutron activation detectors were used to study a neutron field in the setup 'Energy plus Transmutation' consisting of thick lead target and natural uranium blanket. This setup was exposed to 0.7 GeV proton beam from the Nuclotron accelerator. The experiment was a part of the systematic study using proton and deuteron beams within the energy range from 0.7 to 2.52 GeV. The experimental data were compared with the results of the MCNPX simulations and with the data of other experiments. Good agreement within the statistical and systematical uncertainties was observed
