Original Abstract

Experiment with the natural uranium spallation target called QUINTA was performed at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in December 2013. The mass of the QUINTA setup is 512 kg. It consists of five hexagonal sections. The samples of Co-59 have been irradiated with deuteron beam in the field of secondary neutrons at the Nuclotron accelerator from JINR. Energy of the deuteron beam was 4 AGeV. The total beam integral was 6.1(6)E+12. During the experiment, samples were situated in different position inside the assembly and after irradiation were transported to the spectroscopy laboratory and measured at the high-purity germanium semiconductor detectors. The experimental neutron flux was determined and compared with calculated reaction rates with the MCNPX 2.6 and MCNPX 2.7 codes.
