(NAT)Fe(n,n'x) Spectra at 65.5 MeV.

Abstract

The first spectra from the U.C. Davis (n,n'x) detection facility are presented for 65.5 MeV incident neutrons on a Natural iron target. The experimental system is explained along with analysis methodology. Elastic and continuum spectra are presented from 14 to 24 degrees with cross section tabulation. Cross section comparisons are made between 20 degree (n,n'x) and 20 degree (p,p'x) data at 61 MeV and the ratio of neutron to proton matrix elements has been obtained. The first evidence of a (n,n'x) giant resonance has been detected. Keywords include: Giant resonance; Neutron matrix elements; Proton matrix elements; Multiwire chamber detector; Intermediate energy neutrons. (Author)
