Abstract EN
ARES is a multidimensional parallel discrete ordinates particle transport code with arbitrary order anisotropic scattering.
It can be applied to a wide variety of radiation shielding calculations and reactor physics analysis.
To validate the applicability of the code to accelerator shielding problems, ARES is adopted to simulate a series of accelerator shielding experiments for 43 MeV proton-7Li quasi-monoenergetic neutrons, which is performed at Takasaki Ion Accelerator for Advanced Radiation Application.
These experiments on iron and concrete were analyzed using the ARES code with FENDL/MG-3.0 multigroup libraries and compared to direct measurements from the BC501A detector.
The simulations show good agreement with the experimental data.
The ratios of calculated values to experimental data for integrated neutron flux at peak and continuum energy regions are within 64% and 25% discrepancy for the concrete and iron experiments, respectively.
The results demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of ARES code for accelerator shielding calculation.
