Outline Neutron Damage Definitions Modeling Inelastic Collisions Empirical Data

Introduction Neutron damage results from the production of PKAs by neutron-target collisions Neutrons, because they aren’t charged, behave differently from other particles we’ve discussed The mean free path of fast neutrons in most solids is on the order of 15 cm

Definitions

Thermal Neutrons produce damage through (n,  ) reactions, eg. 27 Al+n -> 28 Al+Q For this reaction, Q=7.73 MeV, T=1.1 keV Thermal Neutrons

Fast Neutrons At low neutron energy (<1 MeV), angular distributions of elastically scattered neutrons is isotropic As E increases, scattering is more forward Above a few MeV, scattering becomes inelastic (nucleus is excited, and later emits a photon

Inelastic Collisions Nucleus recoils in excited state Kinetic energy not conserved Excitation energy is Q Threshold energy exists Neutron is absorbed, then emitted (fairly isotropic)

Inelastic Collisions

Example N= /cubic angstrom  el =3 barns Flux=10 15 n/cm 2 /s Displacement rate= disp/cm 3 /s R d /N=33 dpa/year
