Comparative Analysis of Theoretical and Experimental Interaction Cross-Sections of Deuteron and Enriched Lead 204Pb, 206Pb, 207Pb, and 208Pb

Abstract

The modeling calculation of cross-sections of residual nuclei for isotopically enriched lead (²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁶Pb, ²⁰⁷Pb, and ²⁰⁸Pb) targets irradiated by 2.2 GeV/nucleon deuteron beam has been made by the Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code (MCNP). The experimental results were obtained on the Nuclotron of the Laboratory of High Energy Physics at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. The production cross-sections of target fragments were determined for about 90 residual nuclei on each target mentioned above by the method of induced activity. The first-time irradiation has been made on the ²⁰⁴Pb in the GeV range. The comparison of theoretical computations and experimental results showed good agreement between the experiment and simulation data.
