Abstract
The double-differential cross sections for proton, deuteron, triton and alp ha particle production in fast neutron induced reactions on carbon have bee n measured at several neutron energies from 25 to 75 MeV in the angular ran ge from 20 degrees to 160 degrees. Experimental energy-differential, angle- differential and total cross sections are deduced, and consequently the par tial and total kerma coefficients. The obtained experimental partial kerma coefficients are extrapolated down to the threshold energy of each measured reaction channel. Results on the experimental double-differential, energy- differential and total cross sections are briefly presented. The deduced pa rtial and total kerma coefficients of the present work are compared with pr evious measurements and theoretical predictions.
