Description

The neutronic calculations presented in this paper are a result of a state-of-the-art computer simulation code package developed by Prof. C. Rubbia, specifically targeted to the simulation of the Energy Amplifier. Both high-energy particle interactions and low energy neutron transport are treated with a sophisticated method based on a full Monte Carlo simulation, together with modern nuclear data libraries. The code is designed to run both on parallel and scalar computers. A series of experiments carried out at the CERN PS confirmed (i) that the spallation process is correctly predicted and (ii) validated the reliability of the predictions of the integral neutronic parameters of the Energy Amplifier Demonstration Facility.
