Summary of compiled experimental data from intermediate energy neutron and proton interactions with different nuclides (exfor database)

摘要

Shielding of modern high-intensity accelerators in the intermediate energy range requires double differential cross-sections for neutrons, pions, ight and heavy ions for energies between 20 MeV and 5 GeV. The need to develop efforts to compile, in a computer readable form, basic atomic and nuclear data in this energy range, emerged at the Second Specialists Meeting on Shielding Aspects of Accelerators, Targets and Irradiation Facilities (SATIF-2) held at CERN~1 - Geneva (Switzerland) on 12-13 October 1995. At the same time, participants recognised that the existing data are scarce and is mostly scattered among internal reports and journal articles. The availability of these data should also contribute to improve the modelling and the accuracy of computer coes making predictions in the intermediate energy range.
