Abstract
The effect of low-energy neutrons on activation cross-section measurements was analyzed carefully and proved by the measured neutron spectra of T(d, n )He-4 and D(d, n)He-3 reactions. The Ni-58(n, p)Co58m+g and Zn-64(n,p)Cu-64 reactions were used to confirm this analysis, and their cross sections wer e measured accurately. In addition, their evaluated excitation functions ar e given.
