Original Abstract

A massive lead spallation target was irradiated with 660 MeV protons to generate a secondary neutron field. The field was studied via measurement of the residual nuclei generation in the lead activation samples located inside the target. Experimental results were compared with the Monte Carlo simulations using Geant4 and MCNPX 2.7.0 codes. The comparison shows a general agreement between experiment and simulation and thus serves as a validation of the utilized codes, high-energy nuclear models (ICLXX_HP, BIC_HP, BERT_HP, and INCL4.2) and nuclear data libraries (ENDF/B-VII.1), which can be used for the development of the subcritical accelerator-driven systems in the future.
