1 Comparison of Direct Electron and Photon Activation Measurements with FLUKA Predictions P. Degtiarenko, G. Kharashvili, V. Vylet Jefferson Lab 2 nd FLUKA Advanced Course and Workshop Sept 2012, Vancouver

2 Jefferson Lab Layout GeV CEBAF Upgrade magnets and power supplies CHL-2 Two GeV linacs Enhanced capabilities in existing Halls Lower pass beam energies still available

3 FLUKA at Jefferson Lab Modeling interaction of up to 12 GeV e - and γ beams with targets, beamline components, etc. Background; Radiation damage; Shielding; Activation and subsequent exposure levels. Electronuclear interaction mechanism is not included in FLUKA Closely related to photonuclear interaction; Is of significant importance in thin targets (<5% X 0 )

4 Motivation and Opportunity Photon and neutron activation: Check FLUKA (and our use of it!). Direct electron activation: Evaluate relative importance for radiation environments typical to Jefferson Lab. Opportunity: JLab Hall A experiment: measurement of the proton's transverse spin structure function - g p 2; 2.2 and 3.3 GeV e - beams dumped on a specially designed beam dump; Allowed us to place thin foils on the face of the dump.

17 Beam Monitoring During Sample Irradiation Beam Current (na) Time (Days, May 2012)

18 Radiochromic Films Used to Monitor Beam Spot 2 cm 2.2 GeV 3.3 GeV

19 Gamma Spectroscopy Analysis Samples were analyzed with high-purity germanium detector using GENIE 2000 spectroscopy software and ISOCS/LabSOCS calibration software by Canberra. Proper QC procedures were implemented: characterization source checks, spiked sample counting, etc.

20 Preliminary Results Some potential sources of systematic errors need to be looked at: Gamma spectroscopy more QA/QC checks; Improve FLUKA model; Beam current monitoring FLUKA normalization. Radionuclides are plotted with increasing half-lives. Radionuclides with significant contribution from neutron activation are shown in red.

26 Comparison FLUKA vs. Measurement 2.25 γ / e - / n Activation of Pb (Filtered) A FLUKA / A MEASURED FRONT 2.2GeV FRONT 3.3GeV BACK 2.2GeV BACK 3.3GeV

27 Conclusions 2-3 GeV e - interaction with matter: FLUKA tends to predict induced activity within a factor of 2-3!!! More often than not better than a factor of 2!!! Some gross under/overestimations may be attributed to insufficient knowledge of sample composition impurities. In general FLUKA tends to: Overestimate induced activities in the samples placed in the well developed EM cascade; Underestimate induced activities in the samples exposed to direct e - beam before EM cascade is well developed (< 3.2 X 0 )

28 Our Wishes Electronuclear interactions in FLUKA Proper benchmarking
