Abstract

Double-differential cross sections for the neutron-induced production of p, d, t, He3, and alpha particles from oxygen and nitrogen have been measured using an unpolarized neutron facility. Neutron beam energies of 27.4, 39.7, and 60.7 MeV were used. The charged particle energy spectra, at six forward laboratory angles, 15, 20, 35, 40, 45, and 65, and, where feasible, at three backward angles, 90, 130, and 150 deg, range up to the kinematic maximum, from a typical low-energy cutoff of 4 MeV for p, d, t, and alpha particles, and 8 MeV for He3. Intranuclear cascade plus deexcitation calculations were carried out. The data are compared with these calculations and with available proton-induced (charge-symmetric) reaction spectra for oxygen.
