“…This will allow others to use our codes as event-generators in these transport codes to simulate reactions with targets of practically arbitrary geometry and nuclide composition. Figure 1 shows examples of calculated by CEM2k and LAQGSM neutron spectra from interactions of protons with 208 Pb at 0.8 GeV, while Figure 2 gives examples of p, d, t, 3 He, and 4 He spectra from p (61 MeV) + Fe compared with experimental data by Ishibashi et al (1997) and Bertrand and Peelle (1973).…”

The CEM2k and LAQGSM codes have been recently developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory to simulate nuclear reactions for a number of applications. We have benchmarked our codes against most available data measured at incident particle energies from 10 MeV to 800 GeV and have compared our results with predictions of other current models used by the nuclear community. Here, we present a brief description of our codes and show some illustrative results that testify that CEM2k and LAQGSM can be used as reliable event generators for space-radiation-shielding, cosmic-ray propagation, and other astrophysical applications. Finally, we show an example of combining of our calculated cross sections with experimental data from our LANL T-16 compilation to produce evaluated files. Such evaluated files were successfully used in the model of particle propagation in the Galaxy GALPROP to better constrain the size of the cosmic-ray halo.

Neutron-production double-differential cross sections of iron and lead for 0.8 and 1.5 GeV protons incidences were measured in the most-forward direction. Neutrons were measured by the time-of-flight (TOF) method. An NE213 liquid organic scintillator was set at 0• as a neutron detector. Neutron detection efficiencies were obtained by calculations with a Monte Carlo simulation code SCINFUL-QMD. The present experimental data were compared with other reported experimental data and the results of calculation codes based on Intranuclear-Cascade-Evaporation (INC/E) and Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) models. For neutrons associated with formation, the present data deviated from predictions of these codes, and gave magnitudes between them in both 0.8 and 1.5 GeV incidences.

“…Protoninduced neutron-production double-differential cross sections have been measured up to 3 GeV [1][2][3] . However, data of neutron-induced neutron-production double-differential cross sections above 100 MeV are insufficient because of neutron measurement difficulties and a few quasi-monochromatic neutron sources.…”

The neutron-induced neutron-production double-differential cross-sections at 100 MeV by bombarding a Fe sample with continuous energy neutron were measured. A fission ionization chamber was set to take the incident-neutron flux. Six NE213 liquid scintillators, 12.7 cm thick and 12.7 cm in diameter, were placed at 15 , 30 , 60 , 90 , 120 and 150 to detect neutrons emitted from a sample. Incident energies of neutrons were obtained by the time of flight (TOF) method. The distance from the spallation target to an NE213 scintillator was applied as the flight length of incident neutrons. The energy spectra of emitted neutrons were derived from unfolding their deposition-energy spectra with the response functions of the detectors. The response functions were also measured with the spallation neutrons above neutron energy of 20 MeV. In the unfolding process, neutron-induced neutron-production double-differential crosssections were approximated by the moving source model. The experimental results were compared with calculations of the PHITS code using the JENDL-HE file.
