Abstract
Neutron multiplicities from spallation neutron sources were measured by Sol id State Nuclear Track Detectors. Light particles as protons, deuterons and alphas in the GeV range were used on Pb targets. For neutron thermalizatio n the targets were covered by 6 cm paraffin moderator. Neutron multiplicity distributions were studied inside and on the moderator surface. Comparison of SSNTDs results were made for thermal-epithermal neutrons with La-139 ac tivation method as well as with Dubna DCM/CEM code. Discussion including pr evious C-12 results are given.
