LiH Reaktör Moderatör Malzemesi İçin Hadronik Etkileşimlerin Geant4 Benzetimi

Abstract

LiH; yoğunluğu, yüksek nötron yakalama tesir kesiti ve yüksek sıcaklıklarda kullanılmasına imkân veren fiziksel-kimyasal özellikleri sayesinde nötron moderasyonunda oldukça yaygın kullanılan bir moderatör malzemedir. Güçlü bir benzetim programı olan GEANT4 ile LiH’in nötron moderatörü olarak kullanıldığı bir ortam için düşük enerjili nötronların ve üretilen izotop-parçacıkların hadronik etkileri araştırılmıştır. Ek olarak, LiH malzemesi için düşük nötron akısında, enerji birikimi hesaplanmıştır

Geant4 Simulation of Hadronic Interactions for the Reactor Moderator Material LiH

Abstract

LiH is one of the most common moderator materials for neutron moderation; due to its high density, high neutron capture cross section and physical-chemical properties that provides usage at elevated temperatures. Hadronic interactions of low energetic neutrons and generated isotopes–particles have been investigated for a situation in which LiH was used as a neutron moderator by using GEANT4, which is a powerful simulation software. In addition, energy deposition along LiH material has been calculated at low neutron flux
