Abstract. This paper presents a digital neutron spectrometer based on simultaneous digitizing of the signals from the fission chamber and a scintillation detector. The scintillation detector is based on stilbene crystal. The intrinsic detection efficiency of the used stilbene crystal and the energy dependence of the light output for the recoil protons were measured. It is shown, that the method allowed us to achieve time resolution of 1.5 ns and an good n/γ separation down to neutron energies of 400 keV.
Abstract.A novel spectrometer was developed and used to measure the cross section for the (n,α) reaction at IPPE. Direct measurements of the α-particles yield from solid isotopic pure targets of 50, 52 and 53 chromium, 54 and 57 iron, 60 nickel, and 64 zinc were carried out in the neutron energy range from 4.7 to 7.2 MeV. For some isotopes the (n,α) reaction cross-section for neutron energies less than 14 MeV were measured for the first time. The result of the comparison of new experimental data with the evaluated data from libraries ENDF/B VII, JENDL 4.0, JEFF 3.1, ROSFOND 2010 and BROND 3 and with the experimental data of other authors is presented.
