Abstract
The photonuclear reactions of (γ, xn) or (γ, xnp) types can be used to produce high-intensity neutron sources for research and applied purposes. In this work a Monte-Carlo calculation has been used to evaluate the production yields of neutrons from the (γ, n) and (γ, 2n) reactions following the bremsstrahlung produced by 100 and 200 MeV electron beams on the tungsten target. Our calculations indicated that the neutron yield is an increasing function of the target thickness in a considered range from 1.5 to 2.5 mm.
