Flux of secondary neutrons produced by 660 MeV protons in shielding

Soviet Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

With the help of a set of threshold and resonance detectors, measurements were made of the spatial and energy distribution of secondary neutrons in graphite and nickel blocks. Absolute values of the neutron flux as a function of depth in an infinite slab were obtained for a plane, monodireetionat proton source. The energy distribution of the secondary neutrons in the energy range 2.5·10−8 to 6.6·102 Mev was represented by seven groups. The magnitude of the dose behind plane nickel and graphite shielding as a function of thickness was also determined. The results are discussed.
