Abstract

Neutron time-of-flight techniques were used to measure the 9Be(p, n0)9B cross section from 0° to 160°(lab) at 10 energies between 8.15 and 15.68 MeV. The data are combined with previous results below 30 MeV in a Legendre coefficient analysis to evaluate the differential and integral behavior of the 9Be(p,n) and 9Be(p, n0)9B cross sections. A coupled-channels Lane analysis of cross sections and analyzing powers for (p,n) quasi-elastic scattering and (p, p) and (n, n) elastic scattering is presented and compared to previous single-channel models.

      It is interesting to point out that the maximum neutron energy for the 1.45 MeV deuteron beam is about 5.7 MeV, somewhat smaller than the highest neutron energy (6.1 MeV) produced by the 8 MeV proton beam to be used in the Tsukuba project. Even more significant is that 69% of the neutrons from the 9Be(d,n)10B reaction have energies below 1 MeV, while all the neutrons coming from the 9Be(p,n)9B reaction have significantly higher energies (Byrd et al., 1983). Those associated with the population of the ground state of 9B have energies in the interval 3.64–6.14 MeV, while those populating the 2.35 MeV excited state are in the 1.84–3.71 MeV range.
