Light-ion production in the interaction of 96 MeV neutrons with silicon


Abstract in English

Double-differential cross sections for light-ion (p, d, t, He-3 and alpha) production in silicon, induced by 96 MeV neutrons are reported. Energy spectra are measured at eight laboratory angles, ranging from 20 degrees to 160 degrees in steps of 20 degrees. Procedures for data taking and data reduction are presented. Deduced energy-differential, angle-differential and production cross sections are reported. Experimental cross sections are compared to theoretical reaction model calculations and experimental data in the literature.
