Calculation and verification of energy deposition by high-energy deuterons in thick beryllium target
The d-Be neutron source is a compact accelerator neutron source with significant potential. The energy deposition of a high-energy deuteron beam in beryllium target serves as an important reference consideration in the design of target heat removal systems. The total energy deposition of deuterons, energy deposition linear density, and the contributions of different secondary particles in thick beryllium targets is investigated using Geant4 toolkit with three reaction models. Additionally, we conducted an experiment of a 300 MeV deuteron beam bombarding thick beryllium targets, where multiple thermoluminescent detectors were used to measure the dose distribution in targets. The comparison between simulation results and experimental data indicate that the Geant4 simulation effectively estimates the energy deposition of the d-Be reactions, with the BIC_AllHP model showing the best agreement with the experimental data.
期刊介绍:
The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.
Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
