The measurement of the zero deg. neutron spectra and yields from deuterons incident on thick beryllium metal targets is described. {sup 235}U and {sup 238}U fission ion chambers were used as neutron detectors to span the neutron energy range above 0.05-MeV with a time resolution of {le} 3 nanosec. Measurements were made for incident deuteron energies from 2.6 to 7.0-MeV, at 0.4-MeV intervals, using time-of-flight techniques with flight paths of 2.7 and 6.8 meters. The results are presented in graphical form and in tables.
