Abstract
A cylindrical lead target of diameter 8 cm and length 20 cm was irradiated with 7.4 GeV protons along the axis of the cylinder. The lead target was su rrounded with a paraffin layer of thickness 6 cm to moderate the neutrons p roduced in p + Pb reactions. The spatial distribution of the slow and fast neutrons on different surfaces of the moderator were determined using LR 11 5 2B detectors (through (10)(n,alpha)Li-7 reactions) and CR39 detectors (th rough proton recoils) respectively. Such results can be valuable in the stu dies and design of Accelerator Driven Subcritical Nuclear Reactors and Nucl ear Waste Incinerators.
