Abstract :
A Monte Carlo computer code is used to calculate the energy spectra of recoil nuclei resulting from interactions of protons with communications materials. Results are presented for 130 MeV and 1 GeV protons incident on O, Si, Ga, As, and Au. The results for 130 MeV protons on Si are compared with previous calculations and measurements.
