Abstract
Abstract The neutron spectrum in the energy range of 0.1 to 5.85 MeV in the 0○ direction with respect to the incident proton beam accelerated in a Tandem Accelerator of the Wakasa Wan Energy Research Center (WERC), Japan, has been characterized using the multiple foil activation technique. Flux mapping of thermal and epithermal neutrons at 0○, 20○, 40○ and 60○ at downstream of the beam has also been carried out. The fast neutron spectrum averaged cross sections of several threshold reactions were measured. Two monitor reactions, 58Ni(n, p)58Co and 115In(n, n′, γ)115mIn, were used to determine the fast neutron flux. The use of fast neutron flux in validating some excitation functions is described.
