Thin targets of Ni, Rh, Ta, and Au were bombarded with protons of energies between 6 and 12 Mev. Neutrons emitted at angles up to 140 deg were observed. The neutron spectra were studied by time-of-flight spectroscopy. Except for Ni, continuous spectra resulted that had a Maxwellian energy distribution. The nuclear temperature showed, however, an anomalous increase with bombarding energy. Results consistent with the statistical theory could be obtained in the case of Rh by taking into account the energy dependence of the inverse reaction cross section. (auth)
