The neutron-induced neutron-production double-differential cross-sections at 100 MeV by bombarding a Fe sample with continuous energy neutron were measured. A fission ionization chamber was set to take the incident-neutron flux. Six NE213 liquid scintillators, 12.7 cm thick and 12.7 cm in diameter, were placed at 15 , 30 , 60 , 90 , 120 and 150 to detect neutrons emitted from a sample. Incident energies of neutrons were obtained by the time of flight (TOF) method. The distance from the spallation target to an NE213 scintillator was applied as the flight length of incident neutrons. The energy spectra of emitted neutrons were derived from unfolding their deposition-energy spectra with the response functions of the detectors. The response functions were also measured with the spallation neutrons above neutron energy of 20 MeV. In the unfolding process, neutron-induced neutron-production double-differential crosssections were approximated by the moving source model. The experimental results were compared with calculations of the PHITS code using the JENDL-HE file.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
