Measurement of 100- and 290-MeV/A Carbon Incident Neutron Production Cross Sections for Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen

Neutron double-differential cross sections from carbon ion incident on carbon, nitrogen and oxygen targets have been measured for neutron energies down to 0.6 MeV in wide directions from 15∘ to 90∘ with 100- and 290-MeV/A incident energies at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), Natio...

Description
Summary:Neutron double-differential cross sections from carbon ion incident on carbon, nitrogen and oxygen targets have been measured for neutron energies down to 0.6 MeV in wide directions from 15∘ to 90∘ with 100- and 290-MeV/A incident energies at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), National Institute of Radiological Sciences. Two sizes of NE213 scintillators were used as neutron detectors in order to enable neutron energy from below one to several hundred MeV. The neutron energy was measured by the time-of-flight technique between the beam pickup detector and an NE213 scintillator. By using the experimental data, the validity of the calculation results by the PHITS code was examined.
