Production of fast monoenergetic neutrons by charged particle reactions among the hydrogen isotopes. Source properties, experimental techniques and limitations of the data

All five reactions 2H(d,n)3He, 1H(t,n)3He, 3H(p,n)3He, 3H(d,n)4He and 2H(t,n)4He are discussed with special emphasis on recent developments and on the higher neutron energy range up to 40 MeV. It is discussed how inclusion of recent data will change previous evaluations of the p-T system at lower energies. Breakup data of all reactions are collected. Experimental techniques and uncertainties of neutron source property measurements are discussed and recommendations for future work are given. (author)
