Spectrum measurement of neutrons from 40 MeV alpha particle bombardment of tantalum
- 1. Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Calcutta (India)
Description
The energy distribution of neutrons generated due to bombardment of 40 MeV alpha particles on thick elemental tantalum is measured using threshold activation detectors. A method of unfolding the neutron spectrum from the activation data based on information-entropy weighted average solution is described. The present unfolding method does not require 'a priori' information about the shape of the solution spectrum. 16 refs. (author)
