摘要：
Experimental data on neutron emission from the interaction of heavy ion beams with matter are far less abundant than data on neutron production from protons. The aim of the present work is to extend the available computational shielding data to high-energy neutrons produced by heavy ion beams (uranium and carbon) of 1 GeV/u slowed down in a thick iron target. Source terms and attenuation lengths for neutron attenuation in a concrete shield were calculated starting from experimental neutron energy distributions measured at GSI in the angular range from 0degrees to 90degrees. A comparison is also made with previous calculations performed for different ions and energies and with earlier estimates made at GSI for neon beams with 0.8 and 2 GeV/u energy stopped in thick iron, lead and uranium targets.
