Monoenergetic Neutron Techniques in the 10- to 30-Mev Range

A review is given of the techniques for detection of 10- to 30-Mev monoenergetic neutrons with emphasis being placed on absolute neutron flux measurements. Charged particle reactions, which result in monoenergetic neutrons, are discussed; the published cross-section data for the neutron producing reactions involving the hydrogen isotopes are collected and presented as a function of energy and angle. Sources of background neutrons are considered. Tables of neutron energies including relativistic effects for the hydrogen isotope reactions are presented.
