INTERACTION OF FAST NEUTRONS IN IRON, LEAD, OXYGEN, AND NITROGEN. Period covered April 15, 1957-January 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4209709
An investigation of the interaction of fast neutrons in N, O, Fe, Ni, and Pb was made for various energies. In particular the following measurements were made: the angular distributions of the neutrons inelastically scattered from Fe and Pb for 3.67, 4.21, and 4.70 Mev neutrons, using a pulsed beam time-of- flight spectrometer; the angular distributions of the neutrons non-elastically emitted by Fe and Pb due to the bombardment of these elements wtth 15.2 Mev neutrons; the energy distributions of the neutrons scattered at 90- from Fe and Pb for 4.21 Mev neutrons; the energy distributions of the neutrons emitted at 90 deg by Fe and Pb resulting from bombardment with 15.2 Mev neutrons; cross sections for the production of gamma rays emitted from Fe, Pb, N, and O due to neutron interactions in the energy region from 3.2to 4.6 Mev and at 1.0, 7.5, and 14.9 Mev; the angular distribution of the 0.845 Mev gamma ray from Fe which results from inelastic neutron scattering at E/sub n/= 1.0 and 4.70 Mev; the angular distribution of the 2.62 Mev gamma ray from Pb at E/sub n/= 4.l8 Mev in the angular range from 50 to 90-; the angular distribution of the gross gamma rays from Fe and Pb for incident neutron energies of 3.67, 4.21 and 4.70 Mev- the angular distributions of the neutrons elastically scattered from Fe and Pb for 3.67, 4.21, and 4.70 Mev neutrons; the activation cross section of Ni for thermal neutrons; and the cross section for the production of high energy gamma rays due to capture in Ni for neutrons in the energy range from 100 to 500 kev.
