Neutron Production in Thick Targets Irradiated with High-Energy Ions
Figure 1
The spallation sources used in JINR in Dubna, Russia: (a) “Gamma-2” target, (b) “Energy plus Transmutation” () assembly. The term “Uz blanket” stands for the uranium blanket surrounding the Pb target. (c) This diagram illustrates the positions of the spallation sources, the concrete shielding wall, and the locations of the SSNTDs (solid state nuclear track detectors) that serve to determine the neutron ambient dose equivalent. Distances can be estimated from the thickness of the concrete wall which is 1.00 m (Figure taken from [6]).
