Experimental and simulated data at fragment productions in 100 MeV proton-induced reaction on 232Th

Abstract

This paper shows the results from the experiment that was done in JINR (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research) Dubna. Thorium foil between two aluminum foils was irradiated inside Phasotron with 100 MeV protons. As a result – gamma spectra were obtained from the Th and aluminum foils and residual nuclei cross-sections were evaluated from the reaction. Also, there was made a simulation analysis of the beam distribution inside the Th foil and particle escape from the target. The experimental cross-sections were compared with calculations made in the Monte-Carlo simulation (MCNP 6.1).
