Abstract
Neutron spectra from Am-Be, {sup 252}Cf sources and {sup 2}H + {sup 2}H and {sup 2}H + {sup 3}H reactions have been measured using a Bonner sphere system in conjunction with a 4 x 4 mm{sup 2} LiI(Eu) detector, and unfolded using the two codes BUNKI and MAXED. The BON unfolding algorithm is used with BUNKI. It has been observed that end test percentage between 1 and 3 and smoothing factor between 0.05 and 0.1 are optimal choices for the BUNKI code. A temperature parameter 1.0 is used for MAXED. Comparison with standard spectra shows that the shape of the spectra is fairly well reproduced. A coupling between the two codes is made and the solution spectrum from BUNKI is used as the default spectrum in MAXED. (authors)
