Abstract
The double-differential cross sections (DDX) of alpha-particle emissio n from the reaction of 14.6 MeV neutrons with elemental nickel have be en measured using a multitelescope system. The cross sections at sixte en reaction angles from 25 degrees to 164.5 degrees have been obtained . The angle-integrated spectrum and the angular distribution of alpha- particle emission have been deduced from the DDX. The total alpha-part icle emission cross section was 102 +/- 8 mb. The present result was c ompared with the evaluation of ENDF/B-VI and other measurements.
