Abstract
A neutron beam line has been constructed at the KEK-proton synchrotron , Neutrons have been produced by the disintegration reactions of deute rons in a 6 cm thick beryllium target, Deuteron beams of 2-6 GeV have provided neutron beams of 1-3 GeV, The neutron flux increases with the deuteron energy, The typical beam intensities obtained were 1 x 10(8) , 2 x 10(8), and 3 x 10(8) neutrons per 10(11) deuterons of 2, 4, and 6 GeV, respectively. The neutron-momentum width, Delta p/p, was measur ed to be (4 +/- 1)% in sigma at 1 GeV.
