WEIGHTING SPECTRUM:

 

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A heavy charged-particle recoil data base (primary knock-on atom (PKA) spectra) and an analysis program have been created to assist experimentalists in studying, evaluating, and correlating radiation-damage effects in different neutron environments. Since experimentally obtained controlled thermo-nuclear-reactor-type neutron spectra are not presently available, the data base can be extremely useful in relating currently obtainable radiation damage to that which is anticipated in future fusion devices. However, the usefulness of the data base is not restricted to just CTR needs. Most of the elements of interest to the radiation-damage community and all neutron reactions of any significance for these elements have been processed, using available ENDF/B-IV cross-section data, and are included in the data base. Calculated data such as primary recoil spectra, displacement rates, and gas-production rates, obtained with the data base, for different radiation environments are presented and compared with previous calculations. Primary neutrons with energies up to 20 MeV have been considered. The elements included in the data base are listed in Table I.

 

All neutron reactions of significance for these elements (i.e., elastic, inelastic, (n,2n), (n,3n), (n,p), (n,nα), (n,γ), etc.,) which have cross sections available from ENDF/B-IV have been  processed and placed in the data base.

4. METHODS

The neutron group structure up to 14.91 MeV is the same as the GAM-II group structure. (1) The recoil group structure used is based on equal lethargy intervals from 20 eV to 10 MeV.

For elastic, inelastic, (n,2n), (n,3n), (n,np), and (n,nα) reactions, a modified version of the XLACS module from the AMPX code system (1) was used to calculate the heavy charged-particle recoil spectra. For elastic and inelastic resolved reactions, where angular distributions are usually available, the recoil spectra were obtained in the form of a neutron-group- (gn) to-recoil group (gR) transfer matrix.

 

For the remaining reactions given above, the recoil spectra were obtained by using a one-neutron emission model(2) and the secondary- neutron spectra (assumed to be applicable at all angles in the center-of-mass system) given in ENDF/B-IV.

For neutron absorption reactions, such as (n,p), (n,α), etc., the methods of Doran, (2) Jenkins, (3) and Parkin and Goland (4) were used.
