The energy spectra of neutrons produced by 35 and 46 MeV protons, 16 and 28 MeV deuterons, and 44 MeV /sup 3/He ions on thick beryllium were measured at angles of 0/sup 0/, 15/sup 0/, and 45/sup 0/ with respect to the incident beams. The spectra were measured by the time-of-flight method for neutrons from the maximum energy down to 1 MeV. Neutron dose rates obtained from the zero-degree spectra by use of available tissue kerma factors agree with TE--TE ionization chamber measurements.
