Abstract

The beam induced radiation hazards at low energy heavy ion accelerators are evaluated on the basis of nuclear physics principles. The flux, energy and angular distribution of neutrons and gamma-rays generated by stopping the beam in various materials are calculated and compared to available experimental data. Beam interactions with the residual gas in beam pipes are not considered. The induced radioactivity of beam stopping components is estimated.
