Description

The activation of accelerator components represents the primary factor that restricts the allowable level of uncontrolled beam losses in heavy-ion accelerators. Monte Carlo heavy ion transport codes play a crucial role in evaluating the activation induced by beam losses. Measuring the depth distribution of radioactive isotopes in thick targets irradiated by heavy ion beams provides valuable experimental data for validating these transport codes. In this paper, we present and discuss the results of recent experiments involving bulky copper and aluminum targets irradiated by argon and uranium beams.
