Investigation of spherical and cylindrical catural Iridium targets by photonuclear reaction

Abstract

Abstract. In this study, natural iridium consisting of isotopes has been irradiated with 21 MeV photons. The distribution of photons, electrons and neutrons fluxes in the spherical and cylindrical natural iridium target have been calculated using MCNPX 2.7.0 Monte Carlo code. The intensity of the photon fluxes on both targets has been compared to the 10 6 particle story by showing them as mesh and optimizing the two targets.
