The energy deposition was calculated for the targets from carbon to uranium irradiated with intermediate energy protons with the help of different models incorporated in the MCNPX code package (Bertini, CEM and ISABEL) and with the help of the CASCADE/INPE code. The values obtained using the different models and codes are in a good agreement for all targets except uranium. The comparison with the available experimental data for the heat deposition for 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 GeV protons has been performed. The good agreement is observed for copper, lead and bismuth target. The best result is obtained with the help of the ISABEL model. The systematic dependence of the heat deposition from atomic number of the target was investigated. The contribution of different particles and energy ranges in the heat deposition has been studied at the primary proton energies from 0.3 to 2.5 GeV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
