“…To predict the neutron energy spectra over a wide-energy range of proton incident reactions on lighter targets, we plan to incorporate the high-energy version of the evaluated proton and neutron data library JENDL-4.0/HE, which has energies up to 200 MeV [25], in the PHITS package. Figure 6 shows predictions of the double differential neutron production cross-sections of the 290-MeV/u 12 C-and 16 O-induced reactions on a carbon target compared to measurements taken from a previous study [26]. The JQMD + GEM model reproduces the experimental data well over the wide-energy and angle regions.…”

We performed a benchmark study for 58 cases (22 cases reported in this paper and 36 cases reported in online as supplementary materials of this paper) using the recent version (version 2.88) of the Particle and Heavy-Ion Transport code System (PHITS) in the following fields: (1) particle production cross-sections for nuclear reactions from 20 MeV to 1 GeV, (2) thick-target neutron yields and neutron shielding, (3) depth-dose distribution in water using 12 C beam, and (4) electron and photon transportation over a wide-energy range from keV to GeV. Overall agreements were found to be sufficiently satisfactory; however, several discrepancies are observed, particularly in particle productions with energies below 100 MeV, neutron production for 7 Li(p,n) 7 Be, and photonuclear reactions. To overcome these inaccuracies and to further improve the code, it will be necessary to incorporate a high-energy version of the evaluated nuclear data library JENDL-4.0/HE and the photonuclear data file JENDL-PD in the PHITS package.

“…We previously measured neutron production double-differential cross-sections (DDXs) on a carbon bombarded with 290 MeV/nucleon carbon ions and confirmed that the Monte-Carlo simulation code PHITS [2] reproduced the experimental data [3]. In this article, we report the neutron production DDXs on a carbon bombarded with 430 MeV/nucleon carbon ions which is the maximum energy beam used in the therapy.…”

“…A 0.01 × 0.01 × 0.01 cm carbon target was irradiated with 430 MeV/nucleon carbon beam. To shorten calculation time, ring neutron detectors were adopted [3]. For Nucleus-Nucleus collision models, PHITS, Geant4, and FLUKA adopt JQMD, G4QMD, and RQMD, respectively.…”

Background: Carbon ion therapy has achieved satisfactory results. However, patients have a risk to get a secondary cancer. In order to estimate the risk, it is essential to understand particle transportation and nuclear reactions in the patient' s body. The particle transport Monte Carlo simulation code is a useful tool to understand them. Since the code validation for heavy ion incident reactions is not enough, the experimental data of the elementary reaction processes are needed. Materials and Methods: We measured neutron production double-differential cross-sections (DDXs) on a carbon bombarded with 430 MeV/nucleon carbon beam at PH2 beam line of HI-MAC facility in NIRS. Neutrons produced in the target were measured with NE213 liquid organic scintillators located at six angles of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90°. Results and Discussion: Neutron production double-differential cross-sections for carbon bombarded with 430 MeV/nucleon carbon ions were measured by the time-of-flight method with NE213 liquid organic scintillators at six angles of 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90°. The cross sections were obtained from 1 MeV to several hundred MeV. The experimental data were compared with calculated results obtained by Monte Carlo simulation codes PHITS, Geant4, and FLUKA. Conclusion: PHITS was able to reproduce neutron production for elementary processes of carbon-carbon reaction precisely the best of three codes.

In general, the deep understanding of proton-induced reactions is a crucial step for the further development of nuclear reactions theory. However there has been an interesting focus in nuclear physics. Some applications require accurate nuclear reaction data of common cross sections and especially need the data of neutron and proton induced energy-angle correlated spectra of secondary particles, as well as double differential cross sections. Double-differential nucleon-production cross-sections of 56 Fe, 63 Cu and 90 Zr targets, bombarded with protons are calculated based on the nuclear theoretical models. Monte Carlo calculations with the TALYS 1.6 nuclear reaction simulation code are performed. Theoretical calculated results are compared with existing experimental data in EXFOR library.
