Abstract
Prompt-fission-neutron spectra for neutron-induced fission reactions on uranium and plutonium isotopes are important for nuclear applications. We have used 6Li-glass scintillation detectors to measure outgoing neutron energies in the range from 10keV to 1MeV, where there is currently large uncertainty in nuclear data. To better understand the response of 6Li-glass detectors in this energy range, measurements of well-known spontaneous-fission neutrons from a 252Cf source were done in the neutron-beam flight path. Results were compared with Monte Carlo simulations and they show good agreement. Similar measurements with a 7Li-glass detector were used to assess gamma-ray background yields.
