IBA techniques exploit the interactions of rapid (from ~0.1 to a few MeV) charged particles with matter to determine the composition and structure of the surface regions of solids (from ~0 to 100 mm). Compositions and structures are inferred from measured quantities such as charged-particle, gamma-ray and x-ray spectra,

  • r excitation curves, via physical models incorporating the sample

structure and the basic physical processes and quantities giving rise to the observed spectra or excitation curves. The basic physical processes underlying IBA are well understood, but the reliability of data interpretation is limited by knowledge of the physical data.

The overall objective of the initiative is to improve the status of the nuclear databases for assessments of radiation damage to structural components of fusion devices, such as IFMIF (in an advanced stage of design and planning) and future fusion reactors (beyond ITER).

  • The present FENDL-2.1 library (which contains nuclear data only for neutron induced

reactions and for neutron energies up to 20 MeV) will be updated with existing evaluations from major libraries, providing that full consistency with the validations and benchmarks experiments performed on the present version of the library can be assured;

  • p- and d-induced reaction data will be included in the general purpose and activation sub-

libraries;

  • The energy range of incident particles will be extended up to 150 MeV, to comply fully with

the requirements of the IFMIF design;

  • Inclusion of covariances in the evaluated libraries for uncertainty assessment in design

studies will be accomplished by creating a library based on model calculations and covariance estimates
