Cross-section studies of important neutron and relativistic deuteron reactions Vladimír Wagner Nuclear physics institute of CAS, Řež, Czech Republic, E_mail: for collaboration “Energy and Transmutation of Radioactive Waste” (Russia, Belarus, Germany, Greece, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic …) Relativistic deuteron reaction cross-section Neutron reaction cross-section measurements measurements XX International School on Nuclear Physics, Neutron Physics and Applications

Importance of nuclear data Aplications: fission and fusion, nuclear medicine, object and material analysis, radiation protection, nuclear safety and security Science: astrophysical reactions, reactions and structure of nuclei, basic physics

Role of nuclear data Nuclear modeling lacks accuracy for detailed prediction of cross-sections Important – how well we calculate neutron fields, reaction rates, radioactivity …? what is the penalty for inaccuracy of our data libraries? Data are needed for developing models, determining model parameters, benchmark model parameter databases and overall model performance

Development of ADT systems Benchmark studies of different set-ups irradiated by relativistic proton and deuteron beams – development of different codes (MCNPX, FLUKA …) Studies of neutron production and transport Studies of radioactive materials transmutation Group “Energy+Transmutation of Radioactive Waste”: Different set-ups irradiated by Nuclotron beams (JINR Dubna) Activation detectors are used for relativistic beam monitoring and neutron spatial distribution sudies Lead target + uranium blanket big uranium target simple led target +

Beam monitoring – aluminum and copper foils Very scare information about high energy deuteron aluminum reaction cross-sections Completely no information about high energy deuteron copper reaction cross-sections We started series of deuteron copper reaction studies by means of JINR Nuclotron Deuteron aluminum foils were used as beam integral monitor

Studies of relativistic deuteron reactions on natural copper (production of 57 Ni, 58 Co, 56 Co, 55 Co, 56 Mn, 52 Mn, 48 Cr, 48 V, 48 Sc, 47 Sc, 44m Sc, 43 Sc and 43 K) Energy range of deuteron beam from 1 GeV up to 8 GeV (during QUINTA irradiations) Five series of irradiations (last two - red signs) More measurements of activity More irradioations with same deuteron energy Activation method was used Example of simple decay results

Accuracy of gamma spectroscopy measurement Yttrium – thicker sample (~ mm) → if different side facing to the detector → small difference: N(FFD) = 1.539(3)  N(FTD) = 1.553(3)  N(all) = 1.546(2)  Phenomena is quickly decreasing with bigger source detector distances Source detector distance – 50 mm 88 Y 898 keV

Conclusions Experimental nuclear data for different applications (fast breeder reactors, Accelerator Driven Transmutation systems, fussion systems, spallation sources …. European transnational access projects (European neutron sources for European users). Present ERINDA and new CHANDA. Neutron sources of NPI of ASCR Řež are open for users. Benchmark studies by means different set-ups irradiated by relativistic proton and neutron beams. “Energy+Transmutation of RAW” collaboration uses Nuclotron beams (JINR Dubna). The reactions of relativistic deuterons important for beam monitoring were studied using Nuclotron deuteron beam. The quasimonoenergetic neutron sources are good tool for neutron cross- sections measurements, perfect knowledge of these cross-sections is important for measurements of neutron field by means of activation detectors. Neutron reactions on yttrium samples were studied. The understanding of all sources of systematic uncertainties is necessary Such cross-section data are very important step to more effective usage of activation neutron detectors - we will continue such measurements
