Helium accumulation in molybdenum irradiated by protons in the 15–30 MeV energy region

Abstract
Excitation functions on molybdenum isotopes and a theoretical evaluation of helium accumulation in natural molybdenum for proton irradiation in the 15–30 MeV energy region have been obtained. It has been shown that 19–22 MeV protons are the most suitable for simulation of helium accumulation processes and atom displacement formation taking place when natural molybdenum is irradiated by neutrons with a CTR spectrum and neutrons with 14 MeV energy.
