Measurement of Proton-Induced Delayed Neutron Cross-Sections at 800 and 4000 MeV

ORAL

Abstract

Energetic proton beams are being used to explore delayed neutron emissions from a variety of materials in support of national security goals. To accomplish these goals it is necessary to have a firm understanding of the time structure of delayed neutrons emitted from the daughter nuclei of spallation, fragmentation, and fission interactions in structural and shielding materials as well as fissionable isotopes. Results of experiments conducted at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) at 800-MeV and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) at 4-GeV are presented.
