Abstract
The NCSU radiation damage database is described. It contains proton and neutron cross sections for production of damage energy, displacements, helium, hydrogen, and heavier transmutation products. The targets in the database include 23 elements from Mg to U and eight practical alloys, but for this paper attention is focused on Al, Fe, and W. Damage energy cross sections are presented for 20-3200-MeV protons based on intranuclear cascade (INC) models (Bertini, CEM2k, and ISABEL) and for 1-2000-MeV protons based on classical Rutherford scattering and SRIM. These cross sections are used to calculate displacement production at SINQ Target 5. It is shown that the SRIM-calculated cross sections can make a significant contribution to proton-induced displacement production in Al at the entrance window and in Fe at Rods 1 and 15.
