Experimental study demonstrates consistent theoretical modeling of deuteron-lithium interactions via the BRAGG code, suggesting reliable optimization for intense neutron sources.
The interaction of 52 MeV deuterons with lithium was investigated, in view of the optimization of a lithium target for an intense neutron source, based on the d-Li stripping reaction. The experimental results of this experiment as well as those from other experiments (alphas of 241Am with aluminum) are compared with theoretical calculations obtained from an updated version of the BRAGG code. This code describes in detail the interaction of charged particles with matter. Within the experimental uncertainties the theoretical results are well reproduced by the experiments.
