Abstract
A 14 MeV neutron scattering facility has been developed at PINSTECH for the measurement of neutron emission cross-sections. Interest in the measurement of neutron scattering cross-sections around the 14 MeV neutron generators has increased in view of the more precise neutron data requirements for the neutronics calculations of fusion reactors. A coordinated research program has been initiated by IAEA to sponsor these measurements. Apart from the applied nature of the work, the neutron scattering measurements help to provide knowledge of the contributions of the different types of reaction modes such as direct, statistical (Hauser-Feshbach) and pre-equilibrium. Measurements of 14.6 MeV neutron scattering from iron have been made which exhibit an enhancement of the excitations of collective nature in 56Fe and show some interesting structure in the emitted neutron spectra that is correlated with excitation of levels in 56Fe.
