Description

In our previous work [1], samples of low carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper were irradiated in the stray radiation field results from the 9.6 GeV electron beam hitting a thick copper target at the PAL-XFEL main beam dump bunker. The induced activity concentration in the samples were measured using gamma-ray spectroscopy and were compared with the old version of FLUKA, 2011.2x. In this work, we used the latest versions of the Monte Carlo codes FLUKA 4-2.2 (CERN branch) and PHIS-3.28/DCHAIN-SP-3.23 for benchmarking. The measured and the calculated induced activities in the samples will be discussed.
