Description

We measured (n,xp), (n,xd) cross sections of C and Al for En=64.3 MeV neutrons at the 7Li(p,n) neutron sources facility at TIARA (Takasaki Establishment, JAERI) by using a conventional SSD-NaI telescope placed in the air. They show characteristic energy and angular dependence in high energy regions. In order to extend the measurements to low energy protons and α particles, a new spectrometer consisting of low pressure gas counters and BaF2 scintillators is now under development. A low threshold for low energy α particles will be achieved by using the gas counters. The particle identification over a wide energy range will be achieved by combining the ΔE-E method for low energy particles with the pulse shape discrimination (PSD) method of BaF2 for high energy particles.
