Description

We have previously reported measurement of the carbon kerma factor for 14.1-MeV neutrons which were significantly less than the tabulated value of Caswell but in good agreement with the value based upon a recent measurement of the 12C(n,n)3α reaction. Differences in carbon kerma factors near 15-MeV neutron energy undoubtedly are due to uncertainties in the alpha-particle break up process. To further study the energy dependence of this reaction process, we have extended our earlier carbon kerma factor measurements to 15- and 17.9-MeV neutron energy. 16 refs., 8 figs., 3 tabs
