Progress in nuclear data for accelerator applications in Europe

TL;DR

This paper reviews European accelerator applications and highlights recent progress in nuclear data essential for designing facilities, focusing on experimental data and model comparisons for proton-induced reactions in the 200-2500 MeV range.

Contribution

It provides an overview of European accelerator applications and summarizes recent advancements in nuclear data for facility design, especially within the EU FP6 IP-EUROTRANS project.

Findings

Experimental data on proton-induced reactions between 200-2500 MeV.

Model comparisons for production cross sections of H- and He-isotopes.

Progress in nuclear data for accelerator-based facility design.

Abstract

This contribution essentially will be divided into two parts: First, a brief overview on topical accelerator applications in Europe, a selection of the European 6th framework accelerator and ADS programs will be given, second the emphasis will be put on selected nuclear data required for designing facilities planned or even under construction. In this second part the progress on nuclear data in the EU FP6 Integrated Project IP-EUROTRANS (specifically NUDATRA) is summarized. For proton-induced reactions in the energy range of 200-2500 MeV experimental data and model comparisons are shown on total and double differential production cross sections of H- and He-isotopes and intermediate mass fragments.
