Determination by FLUKA Monte Carlo Code of Shield Thicknesses of Concrete and Soil for 100-250 MeV Proton Accelerators
Abstract :
Shielding of proton accelerators mainly is made the attenuation of the secondary neutrons generated in the hadronic cascade. Neutrons mainly result from the intranuclear cascades and subsequent evaporation reactions. Whereas intranuclear cascades create high-energy neutrons, evaporation reactions produce copious neutrons that lower energies. In total, these neutrons dictate the shielding requirements of a proton accelerator. For shielding design purposes, several advanced multi-particle Monte Carlotransport codes are available. In this paper, standard concrete and soil shield materials were chosen to determine the minimum required shield thickness for shield design of proton accelerator facility, which is planned to build of at Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC). Required shield thicknesses of standard concrete and soil were determined with FLUKA Monte Carlo code, for 100 and 250 MeV energy regions of facility for abnormal condition.
