| description | The fragments produced in nuclear reactions for accelarator driven systems (ADS)
operation form elements that can have effects on the structure of the reactor. In this
regard, the calculation of fragment distributions gives important information for the
development of ADS. To obtain those distributions, the Monte Carlo (MC) method is
an important tool, and in this work we describe calculations of fragment distributions
through a MC code for reactions initiated by intermediate- and high-energy protons
and photons on actinide and preactinide nuclei. We study the production of fragments
through spallation and fission reactions. The results show good qualitative agreement
with experimental data. |
