Research Abstract

The nuclide-production cross section for high energy neutrons were measured by using a quasi-monoenergetic neutron field based on the 7Li(p, n) reaction. The cross sections obtained for Bi and Co were compared with proton-induced reaction results and nuclear data library. These results agree with nuclear data library and differ from proton-induced reaction results for some reactions.
