Dear FLUKA experts,
I would like to calculate the energy dependent fragmentation
cross-section with FLUKA, particularly of Fe-56(C,x)X reactions (X is
projectile fragments heavier than C). I would appreciate if someone
could tell me if the following scheme is correct.
1, Run FLUKA with dumping projectile kinetic energy GeV/u
(etrack-am(jtrack))/(am(jtrack)/ AMUGEV)
and its statistical weight (wtrack) every time when a projectile
fragment of interest is produced.
In the simulation, thick carbon target is simply bombarded by 500 MeV/u
Fe ions.
The mgdraw routine linked to FLUKA "mgdraw_exci.f" is attached. The
input file is also attached as "frag_exc.inp"
2, The fragmentation cross-section (e.g. Fe-56(C,x)Mn-54 at Energy = 300
MeV/u +-5 MeV/u ) is obtained as
sigma = s/(# of history)/(total track length of primary ion beam between
300-5 MeV/u and 300+5 MeV/u)/(atomic density of target)
where s is the sum of the output statistical weights of the cases
primary ion energy is from 300-5 MeV/u to 300+5 MeV/u and produced
fragment is Mn-54.
The obtained cross-section seems a little bit low (Please see the
attached "plot.jpg" Fe-56(C,x)Mn-54 cross-section. The drop at 100 MeV/u
is because FLUKA-2008 was used). Any suggestions are appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Tatsuhiko
