MCNP simulation for setting up experiments of electron beam irradiation on zeolite ZSM-5 and mordenite

Abstract
In this work, we have simulated the interaction of electron beam with zeolite Mordenite & ZSM-5 in different experimental configurations to optimize the uniformity of the irradiating experiment for reducing errors in the study modifying structures of the zeolites by the electron beam. This simulation helps to investigate and control a number of problems such as the possibility of decelerating electron 10MeV of some common materials, the energy spectrum of electrons for irradiating the sample, the uniformity of the imparted energy of electrons in the sample, the heat generated during irradiation, irradiation time corresponding to dose levels. With the information obtained from the simulation process, we can set up the irradiation experiment for zeolite samples with the expected doses. In addition, the simulation data gives us information about the absorbed energy in the zeolite sample. This will support the interpretation of experimental results in a systematic way in future.
