Calculated neutron spectrum from 800-MeV protons incident on a copper beam stop
Abstract
A Monte Carlo calculation was performed to obtain the neutron spectrum generated by 800-MeV protons incident on the LAMPF main copper beam stop. The total flux is calculated to be of the order of 10$sup 13$ n/cm$sup 2$-sec-mA at full-beam intensity of 1 mA, with flux spectra calculated for angles of 20$sup 0$, 30$sup 0$, 60$sup 0$, 90$sup 0$, 120$sup 0$, and 150$sup 0$.

Calculation of radiation damage effects of 800-MeV protons in a ''thin'' copper target
Radiation damage effects of 800-MeV protons incident on a l-cm-thick copper target were calculated by using the nucleon-meson transport code to determine the nuclear reactions produced by the protons, and the theory of Lindhard et al. to evaluate the resultant damage energy deposited in the target. Damage effects were found to be uniform across the 1-cm target thickness, and the results obtained can be expressed in cross-section form applicable to target thicknesses from about 0.01 cm to 2 cm. The calculation yielded a damage energy cross section (depending somewhat on beam and target geometry) of about 350 barn-keV and amore » -
Elastic scattering of polarized deuterons from hydrogen at 2. 0, 1. 6, and 1. 2 GeV and search for critical opalescence in inelastic scattering of protons from carbon-12 at 800 MeV
Large deuteron vector and tensor asymmetries were measured for the first time at intermediate energies. The polarized deuteron beam (with tensor and vector components of 0.75 and 0.25, respectively) was used at energies of 2.0, 1.6, and 1.2 GeV. The tensor and vector quantities P/sub yy/ and P/sub y/ were extracted from the data obtained within beam polarization normal to the scattering plane, and P/sub xx/ was obtained when the polarization was precessed into the scattering plane. Analysis of the data using multiple scattering theory demonstrates the importance of the noneikona correction to the Glauber Model and also the sensitivitymore »
