Abstract

A neutron spectrometer for the measurement of double-differential neutron-emission cross sections has been set up.

An electron linac (GELINA) is used as a pulsed white neutron source. The energy of the incident neutrons is determined by the time-of-flight method. The secondary neutron spectra are determined by unfolding the pulse-height distributions observed in eight NE213-scintillators surrounding the sample.

The measured spectra are normalised to the shape of the incident neutron flux measured with a 235U-fission chamber, and afterwards converted to absolute cross sections using as standard the carbon differential elastic scattering cross section below 2 MeV.
