Abstract
The energies of the protons emitted by 27Al, 54Fe, 56Fe, 58Ni, 60Ni, and 63Cu when bombarded by 14 MeV neutrons have been determined using a photographic plate method. In addition, the angular distribution of the protons emitted by 63Cu has been measured. The energy distribution of the protons is consistent with some of them being produced by the (n, np) reaction and others by a direct interaction. Rough cross sections for these processes are given; in the course of the work a cross section of 10±4 mbn has been measured for the reaction 54Fe (n, 2n). The results, generally, are in good agreement with the statistical and direct interaction theories.
