Study on induced radioactivity of China Spallation Neutron Source

China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is the first High Energy Intense Proton Accelerator planned to be constructed in China during the State Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, whose induced radioactivity is very important for occupational disease hazard assessment and environmental impact assessment. Adopting the FLUKA code, the authors have constructed a cylinder-tunnel geometric model and a line-source sampling physical model, deduced proper formulas to calculate air activation, and analyzed various issues with regard to the activation of different tunnel parts. The results show that the environmental impact resulting from induced activation is negligible, whereas the residual radiation in the tunnels has a great influence on maintenance personnel, so strict measures should be adopted.     

Simulation of a modified neutron detector applied in CSNS

We simulate the response of a modified Anderson-Braun rem counter in the energy range from thermal energy to about 10 GeV using the FLUKA code. Also, we simulate the lethargy spectrum of CSNS outside the beam dump. Traditional BF3 tube is replaced by the 3He tube, a layer of 0.6 cm lead is added outside the boron doped plastic attenuator and a sphere configuration is adopted. The simulation result shows that its response is exactly fit to H＊（10） in the neutron energies between 10 keV and approximately 1 GeV, although the monitor slightly underestimates H＊（10） in the energy range from thermal energy to about 10 keV. According to the characteristics of the CSNS, this modified counter increases the neutron energy response by 30% compared with the traditional monitors, and it can be applied in other kinds of stray field rich of high eeergy neutrons.     

FLUKA程序在法拉第杯设计中的应用

法拉第杯是加速器束流强度绝对测量装置,其收集效率对于法拉第杯的设计至关重要。应用蒙特卡罗软件FLUKA对北京正负电子对撞机直线加速器分析磁铁AM2处的法拉第杯进行模拟设计。给出了法拉第杯不同部位对收集效率的影响曲线,并给出了入射电子在法拉第杯中的能量沉积分布与带电粒子分布图,最终得到了优化的法拉第杯尺寸,使得对入射电子的收集效率达到99.73%。
