Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Bremsstrahlung beams obtained at electron accelerators stimulate the photofission reaction of actinides. Their parameters significantly depend on the design features of accelerators and sample activation schemes. As a result of the simulations carried out by the GEANT4 Monte-Carlo code, the optimal parameters of the actinide sample activation scheme at the M-30 microtron were calculated. The scheme provides experimental conditions for generating the bremsstrahlung beam with the maximum photon content and the minimum content of residual electrons and secondary photoneutrons that interact with the studied actinide samples. The parameters of the developed stimulation scheme for the M-30 microtron can be applied to different accelerator types, taking into account their design features, characteristics of the studied samples, and implemented activation schemes.
