In the context of the design of an intense source of low and intermediate energy neutrons, the angular and energy distributions of neutrons produced in the interaction of 90 MeV protons in a 13 C target, in which the protons are stopped, have been measured by time-of-flight and activation techniques

β¦ Synopsis
We measured angular and energy distributions of neutrons from an iron target bombarded by 210 MeV protons at angles of 0 ; 7:5 ; 15 ; 30 ; 60 ; 90 and 110 using the RIKEN Ring Cyclotron. The measured results are compared with the calculations using the MCNPX and NMTC/JAM codes with several physics models. These calculations generally agree with the measurements except at forward angles. We also show the angular distribution and total neutron yield from 0 to 180 ; integrated above 5 MeV; to compare with similar experiments in the medium energy region of projectile protons.

The ''manganese bath'' technique has been perfected to measure the total number of neutrons emitted when 23-80 MeV proton beams bombard a beryllium target. It consists in surrounding the neutron source with a large metallic cylinder filled with a manganese sulphate (MnSO 4 ) solution. The neutrons a
