Abstract

In this paper MCNP4C code has been used to simulate of the photonuclear interaction induced by 10MeV electron beam is an approach for generating the high intensity neutrons. Since the results are depended on the target material, the calculations are performed for the targets made of high z elements of Pb, Ta and W in a simple geometry.
