Activation of copper by nitrogen and argon beams — •Vera Chetvertkova1,2, Edil Mustafin2, Anton Belousov3, Ludmila Latysheva4, Ulrich Ratzinger1, Nikolai Sobolevsky4, and Ivan Strasik2 — 1IAP, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main — 2GSI, Darmstadt — 3TU, Darmstadt — 4INR RAS, Moscow
Monte Carlo transport codes are widely used for various purposes in nuclear physics, radiation protection, medical applications, accelerator design etc. Code verification by experiments is needed to be sure that the codes give accurate results. New data on the activation of copper by a nitrogen beam of 500 MeV/u is presented and compared with FLUKA and SHIELD simulation results. The activation of copper by a nitrogen beam is compared to activation by an argon beam and respective simulations. This gives a chance to see the accuracy of the codes at different projectile masses. Correspondences and discrepancies of calculations and experiments are discussed.
