Abstract

Energy spectra of neutrons (3 < En < 100 MeV) induced by 0.75 GeV/c negative pion bombardment on Al, Fe, Cd and Pb were measured. The low energy part (3 < En < 8 MeV) of the spectra in heavier targets can be reasonably well understood by the intranuclear-cascade (INC)/evaporation model, while the cross section and its target mass dependence of higher energy neutrons (En > 20 MeV) are in disagreement with the INC prediction.
