Description

Based on the two-dimensional analysis of energy and time-of-flight spectra, combined with the pulse-shape discrimination technique using a CsI(Tl) scintillation detector, a charged-particle spectrometer was developed to measure double-differential charged-particle emission cross sections with 14 MeV incident neutrons. Using this spectrometer, proton emission cross sections for Fe and α-particle emission cross sections for Be were measured to confirm the basic performance of the spectrometer. The measured data were compared with other experimental results, theoretical calculations and evaluations. Also, a model calculation based on kinematics for α-particle emission from Be was presented.
