Data for: Measurement and Monte Carlo simulation of steel and copper activation at the CHARM and CSBF facilities at CERN

Activation experiments in selected materials commonly used in particle accelerator elements and high-energy physics detector components were conducted at the CERN High-energy AcceleRator Mixed-field (CHARM) facility. Emphasis was placed on materials that are particularly challenging in terms of activation, such as copper and steel alloys, and on medium- to long-lived radionuclides produced within them (e.g., Mn-54, Co-57, Co-58, and Co-60) that often play a crucial role in determining the radiological procedures to be applied to components of these materials. Dedicated simulations with the FLUKA Monte Carlo code (Ahdida et al., 2022; Battistoni et al., 2015) were performed, and comparisons with experimental data showed a satisfactory agreement. The description of the experiments, the analysis of the measurements and the comparison with FLUKA simulations are presented in the related publication: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2025.112879

本研究于欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）高能加速器混合场（CHARM）设施中，针对粒子加速器元件与高能物理探测器组件常用的选定材料开展了活化实验。实验重点聚焦于活化特性较为复杂的材料（如铜及合金钢），以及此类材料中生成的中长寿命放射性核素——例如锰-54（Mn-54）、钴-57（Co-57）、钴-58（Co-58）与钴-60（Co-60）——这类核素通常对确定该类材料组件的放射操作规程起到关键作用。研究采用FLUKA蒙特卡罗程序（Ahdida等，2022；Battistoni等，2015）开展了针对性模拟，将模拟结果与实验数据比对后显示二者吻合度良好。本次实验的详细描述、测量结果分析以及与FLUKA模拟的比对内容，已发表于相关学术论文：https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2025.112879
