Abstract

Nuclear instrumentation is a complex topic since it involves a wide range of physics phenomena like nuclear reactions, heavy ion interactions with matter, electrostatic, charge creation etc. Understanding and modelling fission chambers is a difficult task usually performed with Monte-Carlo and finite element simulations. Since a few years, analytical and simplified Monte Carlo models were introduced at the French Atomic Energy Commission to easily design detectors. It is proposed here to present the derivation of such model, called COSICAF, for academic purposes; this numerical model provided with this article, will help students and researchers to understand and design fission chambers. To demonstrate the interest and the limitation of proposed work in research field, the model is applied to simulate two real miniature fission chamber designs.

COSICAF,用于学术目的的裂变室模拟工具
核仪器是一个复杂的课题,因为它涉及到广泛的物理现象,如核反应、重离子与物质的相互作用、静电、电荷产生等。理解和模拟裂变室是一项困难的任务,通常用蒙特卡罗和有限元模拟来完成。几年来,法国原子能委员会引入了分析和简化的蒙特卡罗模型,以方便地设计探测器。为了学术目的,建议在此提出这种称为COSICAF的模型的推导;本文提供的数值模型将帮助学生和研究人员理解和设计裂变室。为了证明研究领域的兴趣和局限性,应用该模型模拟了两个真实的微型裂变室设计。
