Tritium Production Cross Sections in Accelerator-Driving System Structural Materials
https://doi.org/10.56304/S2079562920060573
Abstract
The results of tritium production cross sections in 27Al, natNi and natW thin targets irradiated by protons with energies ranging from 40 to 2600 MeV are presented. These targets have been irradiated at the ITEP accelerator U-10 in the form of single and double metal-aluminum “sandwiches”. Tritium has been extracted from targets using a Sample Oxidizer system and its activity was measured using a ultra low level liquid scintillation spectrometer. To calculate cross sections tritium losses were estimated during irradiation of targets (geometric correction) and during storage (diffusion correction). The values of the tritium production cross sections were used to assess the predictive power of CEM03.03 nuclear model.
