Abstract

Cross sections for neutron interaction with Cu and Nb, with emphasis on spectra of light particles from binary reactions, are calculated for neutron energies from 4 to 32 MeV for estimating recoil probability densities for the analysis of damage experiments with a Be (d, n) neutron source. Nuclear model parameters were adjusted to reproduce the available cross-section data around 14 MeV. Helium production cross sections were also calculated for 63Cu for neutrons below 20 MeV, as an illustration of the Hauser-Feshbach method for calculating tertiary reaction cross sections.
