The neutron emission spectra from spheres of Be, N, O, C, Pb, /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 239/Pu, H/sub 2/O, and CH/sub 2/ pulsed at the center by 14-MeV neutrons were measured over the energy range of 10 eV to 1 MeV, using sphere transmission and time-of-flight techniques. The neutron source was obtained by the T(d,n)/sup 4/He reaction with a pulsed 400-keV deuteron beam produced by the Livermore ICT accelerator. The neutron detector was a thick /sup 6/Li loaded glass scintillator calibrated against a /sup 235/U fission chamber.
