Photoneutrons produced from (γ,xn) reactions in high energy accelerators are essential in radiation shielding. In this report, we study the double differential cross sections (DDXs) of (γ,xn) on medium-heavy-mass targets (Pb, Au, Sn, Cu, Fe, and Ti) using a 16.6 MeV monoenergetic linearly polarized photon beam. The photon beam was produced using laser Compton scattering (LCS) technology with...
Deuteron-induced reaction is a candidate of accelerator-based neutron source for various applications such as radiation damage evaluation for fusion materials, medical radioisotope productions, etc. For the design of such neutron sources, the data of double-differential thick target neutron yields (DDTTNYs) from (d,xn) reactions have been systematically measured at Kyushu University. On the...
In the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline of the Materials and Life Science (MLF) experimental facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) continuous efforts have been ongoing in order to measure the neutron-induced cross sections of long-lived minor actinides (MAs) and fission products (FP) by means of the time-of-flight (TOF)...
