Abstract
Neutron energy spectra resulting from the deuteron bombardment of thick targets of Ta, W, Pt, Au, Pb and Bi have been obtained at incident deuteron energies between 8 and 14 MeV and the yield of neutrons with energy greater than 1.5 MeV was calculated from the data. Angular distributions were measured at 10 and 13 MeV. Spectra from all the targets were very similar except for differing numbers of neutrons from carbon contamination on the surface of the targets. The neutron yield was found to increase rapidly with increasing deuteron energy and to decrease with the increasing Z of the target material.
