| Abstract | Beam losses are responsible for material activation in certain components of particle accelerators. The activation is caused by several nuclear processes and varies with the irradiation history and the characteristics of the material (namely chemical composition and size). The maintenance, transport and elimination of the activated components requires their radiological characterization. The JEREMY code computes the induced radioactivity from the fluence spectra of the radiation field to which the component of interest is exposed, from the irradiation history and from the chemical composition of the material. This paper presents the mathematical formulation of the computation of the induced activity including a detailed discussion of the propagation of the uncertainties on the induced radioactivity. |
