Light charged particle production in fast neutron-induced reactions on carbon (E-n=20 to 75 MeV) (I). Protons and deuterons

Double-differential cross sections for proton and deuteron emission in fast neutron-induced reactions on carbon are reported at several incident neutr on energies between 20 and 75 MeV. Angular distributions were measured at 1 5 laboratory angles between 20 degrees and 160 degrees. Procedures for data taking and data reduction are shortly presented. Deduced energy-differenti al, angle-differential and total cross sections are also reported. Experime ntal cross sections are compared with existing experimental data and with t heoretical model calculations. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights re served.
