Abstract

Energy spectra of neutrons emitted following the absorption of stopped negative pions in carbon, nitrogen and oxygen were measured from about 2.5 MeV up to the kinematical limit. The experiments were carried out at the biomedical pion channel πE3 of the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research (SIN). The evaporation part of the spectra was extrapolated to zero energy using the formula of Le Couteur. Various parameters like mean neutron energies and neutron multiplicities are given. The data are compared with experimental data obtained by other authors and with results of intranuclear cascade calculations.
