Neutron production in deuteron-induced reactions on Li, Be, and C at an incident energy of 102MeV.

Double-differential cross sections (DDXs) of deuteron-induced neutron production reactions on Li, Be, and C at 102MeV were measured at forward angles (≤ 25°) by means of a time of flight method with NE213 liquid organic scintillators at the Research Center of Nuclear Physics, Osaka University. The experimental results were compared with model calculations with PHITS and DEURACS. The DEURACS calculation reproduces the experimental DDXs for C at very forward angles than the PHITS one. Moreover, the incident energy dependence of the Li(d,xn) reaction was investigated by adding the DDX data measured previously at 25 and 40MeV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
