Представлены данные по выходу нейтронов из различных металлических мишеней (Fe, Cu, Ta, W, Pb) под воздействием пучка протонов с энергией от 300 до 1000 МэВ и энерговыделению в мишени, полученные на основе расчетов, выполненных с использованием программного комплекса GEANT4.

Powerful electronuclear sources of neutrons generated by a beam of accelerated charged particles in the target made of heavy elements can be used in nuclear engineering to transmutate long-living radioactive waste, produce new fissionable materials and obtain energy. In the electronuclear units fission reaction takes place in the subcritical reactor, and the required density of neutron flux is ensured using an extra electronuclear source of neutrons. Based on the calculation results obtained using GEANT-4 software package, this paper presents the data on the neutron outcome from various metal targets (Fe, Cu, Ta, W, Pb) under effect of the neutron beam with the energy from 100 MeV to 1 GeV and spatial distribution of energ
