Abstract

In this work, neutron-emission spectra induced by (n,xn) nuclear reactions have been investigated for the 7Li structural fusion material with the code ALICE-2011 at 14.2 MeV neutron energy. Lithium known as Flibe is a candidate structural material for use as an advanced blanket design in fusion devices. Hybrid Monte Carlo Simulation model have been used to calculate the double differential neutron emission spectra for different angles between 15° and 150°. The obtained results were compared with the measured data taken from EXFOR library. The results show an acceptable agreement.
