Induced Radioactivity of Materials By Stray Radiation Fields at an Electron Accelerator

Abstract

Samples of soil, water, aluminum, copper and iron were irradiated in the stray radiation field generated by the interaction of a 28.5~GeV electron beam in a copper-dump in the Beam Dump East facility at SLAC. The specific activity induced in the samples was measured by gamma spectroscopy and other techniques. In addition, the isotope production in the samples was calculated with detailed Monte Carlo simulations using the \textsc{Fluka} code. The calculated activities are compared to the experimental values and differences are discussed.
