Simulation inputs

Geometry

Side profile of converter. Distances re in cm. There are thin (0.001 inch) titanium plates on the far left and far right of the model, but they but the are too small to be seen.
Front view of convertor. Distances are in cm.

Materials

Green: Stainless steel

Pink: Titanium

Blue: H2O

Yellow: Tungsten

Assumptions

The beam spot size was given a diameter of 0.5 cm based off of a burn mark on a converter that got hot during irradiation. Electrons are 42 MeV and mono energetic.




.


Results

The plot below shows the energy distribution of neutrons exiting the converter for three different ranges of neutron angle w.r.t. the incident beam. The neutron energy spectrum of U235 is shown for comparison. JackConverterSimResult.png
