Energy deposition and neutron flux study in a gravity-driven dense granular target (DGT) with GEANT4 toolkit
چکیده انگلیسی
China initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS) has been approved as a strategic plan to build an ADS demonstration facility in the next few years. It proposed a new concept for a high-power spallation target: the gravity-driven dense granular target (DGT). As the same with a monolithic target (MT), both solid and liquid target, energy deposition and neutron flux are two critical issues. In this paper, we focus on these two issues and long for some valuable results for the project. Unlike a solid target, the internal geometry structure of a DGT is very complicated. To be as much as closer with the reality, we designed an algorithm and firstly packed the grains randomly in a cylindrical container in GEANT4 software. The packing result was in great agreement with the experimentally measured results. It shows that the algorithm is practicable. In the next step, all the simulations about energy deposition and neutron flux of a DGT were performed with the GEANT4 codes, and the results were compared with the data of a MT. Compared to a MT, a DGT has inarguable advantages in both terms of energy deposition and neutron flux. In addition, the simulations with different radius of grains were also performed. Finally, we found that both the energy deposition and neutron flux are nearly irrelevant to the radius of the grains in the range of 0.5 mm-5 mm when the packing density is same by analyzing the results meticulously.
