摘要: In this paper, we investigated a system, is composed of natural tungsten and bismuth cylindrical targets. The target has been optimized to produce the maximum neutrons yield with diameter 20 cm varying height from 10 80 cm. bombarded high-intensity accelerator by 0.1 3 GeV proton beam. protons are assumed uniformly distributed across beam 2 work, have used Monte Carlo method using MCNP-6 code simulate spallation neutron yield, spectrum distribution coming out in region. According results approving several simulations for two targets bismuth, difference increases 8.92% some energy 3 GeV.
