Thick target neutron yields and spectral distributions from the 7Li(d(p),n) and 9Be(d(p),n) reactions

Neutron yields and spectral distributions of neutrons produced by bombarding thick 7Li and 9Be targets with protons and deuterons of energies 14.8, 18 and 23 MeV were measured at five angles between 00 and 400. Time-of-flight spectra of neutrons with energies greater than 0.3 MeV were obtained with a 13.2 cm3 stilbene detector using (n,γ) discrimination. Background was measured by blocking the direct path of neutrons to the detector. (Auth.)
