Abstract

Data are reported on the spectra of neutrons produced by bombardment of a thick beryllium target by pulsed deuterons of 5.2 MeV energy at several angles of observation. The neutrons produced at 45° are used to measure the transmission of carbon and polyethylene samples to illustrate application of the neutron source to the measurement of nuclear excitation functions in the energy range below 8.5 MeV, using time-of-flight monochromatization. Comparisons with other systems are discussed.
