چکیده
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are considering the possibility of using the Low Energy Demonstration Accelerator, constructed at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center for the Accelerator Production of Tritium Project, as a neutron source. Evaluated nuclear data are needed for the p+ 7 Li reaction, to predict neutron production from thin and thick lithium targets. In this paper we describe evaluation methods that make use of experimental data, and nuclear model calculations , to develop an ENDF-formatted data library for incident protons with energies up to 150 MeV. The important 7 Li(p,n 0) and 7 Li(p,n 1) reactions are evaluated from the experimental data, with their angular distributions represented using Lengendre polynomial expansions. The decay of the remaining reaction flux is estimated from GNASH nuclear model calculations. This leads to the emission of lower-energy neutrons and other charged particles and gamma-rays from preequi-librium and compound nucleus decay processes. The evaluated ENDF-data are described in detail, and illustrated in numerous figures. We also illustrate the use of these data in a representative application by a radiation transport simulation with the code MCNPX.

Recent developments of the Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) of nuclear reactions are briefly described. These changes are motivated by new data on isotope production measured recently in “reverse kinematics” at GSI for interactions of Pb and U at 1 GeV/nucleon and Au at 800 MeV/nucleon with liquid H. This study leads us to CEM2k, which is a new version of the CEM code that is still under development...

We explore how nuclear modifications to the nucleon parton distributions affect production of high-p T hadrons in heavy ion collisions. We perform a leading order calculation of the high-p T charged pion, kaon and proton spectra using standard fragmentation functions and shadowing parameterizations. We also consider alternate models of shadowing. Near midrapidity, shadowing is a small effect an...

Spherical collective flow and thermalization are studied in gold on gold collisions at 150, 250 and 400 A MeV bombarding energies with a relativistically covariant formulation of a QMD code [1]. We find that spherical flow and thermal energies calculated for all the charged fragments agree reasonably with the experimental values [2]. The experimental cut at small angles used in the FOPI experim...

Dilepton production following radiative capture of a proton on a nuclear target is studied in the Impulse Approximation. The cross section is decomposed in terms of four time-like nuclear structure functions through a longitudinal-transverse separation of the nuclear current. Using a simple PWIA model, cross sections and conversion factors are calculated for capture at proton energies of 100-20...
