Calculation of the energy deposition in a water beam dump

The energy deposition per interacting proton in GeV/cm 3 and the star density in star/cm 3 have been calculated in a water cylinder with a Monte Carlo computer program. These calculations permit the estimation of the temperature rise, induced radioactivity, etc., in beam dumps of high energy acceler...

Description
Summary:The energy deposition per interacting proton in GeV/cm 3 and the star density in star/cm 3 have been calculated in a water cylinder with a Monte Carlo computer program. These calculations permit the estimation of the temperature rise, induced radioactivity, etc., in beam dumps of high energy accelerators and storage rings. We assumed a cylinder of different diameters and lengths and an incident proton beam energy of 20, 200, 300 and 400 GeV.
