Abstract
When modeling neutron dd-generators, it is necessary to take into account the deuteron energy drop in the simulation step, which leads to a rapid drop in the inelastic dd-interaction cross sections. An algorithm for optimal choice of the modeling step for inelastic dd-interaction is proposed, taking into account the decrease of the deuteron energy per step. Using the Lindhard law (at low energies, the energy losses of a charged particle are proportional to its velocity), an algorithm for correcting deuteron energy loss per step has been developed. Using these two algorithms can speed up the modeling of a neutron dd-generator target by an order of magnitude.
