Dear friends and experts in FLUKA,
I intend to perform a proton irradiation of an electroplated target (zinc electroplated on a silver disc). I would like to know how to declare this type of target in FLAIR. Thank you in advance to everyone who can help.
Please upload all relevant files. (FLUKA input file, Flair project file, user routines, and data files)
Dear Henrique,
As a first iteration for your simulation needs, I would simply implement the target as a disk composed of two layers: a very thin zinc layer on top, to mimic the electroplating, and a thicker silver layer beneath.
For a second iteration, you could refine the material parameters, including densities, impurities, and other relevant details.
Please review the material from the beginner course on implementing simple geometrical shapes and assigning materials in your geometry.
I hope this helps. If you had in mind something more specific, please let me know.
Best regards,
Tommaso
Dear Tommaso,
Thank you for your prompt response to my questions about electroplated targets. Indeed, I had already considered adjusting the density parameter beyond the target material’s very thin layer. I will run several simulations, varying these parameters (thickness and density), and observe the results. If I have any further questions, I will contact you again.
For now, thank you very much!
