A deuterium gas target was constructed for producing quasi-monoenergetic neutrons in the 5- to 10-MeV energy region via the D(d,n)/sup 3/He reaction at a compact cyclotron. Some of the characteristics of the neuron source were investigated. The neutron spectrum was characterized by the multiple foil activation technique in combination with the iterative code SAND II, and the results were qualitatively similar to those from time-of-flight measurements. Using this neutron source, cross sections were measured for the first time in this energy region for the reactions /sup 58/Ni(n, ..cap alpha..) /sup 55/FE, /sup 62/Ni(n,..cap alpha..)/sup 59/Fe, /sup 64/Ni(n, ..cap alpha..)/sup 61/Fe, /sup 61/Ni(n,p)/sup 61/Co, and /sup 62/Ni(n,p) /SUP 62m/ Co. Use was made of the activation technique, wherever necessary, radiochemical separations, and x- or gamma-ray counting. A systematic trend observed in the cross-section data is briefly discussed.
