Abstract

Total neutron production cross sections have been measured for targets of D, T, Li7, Be9, B11, C13, C14, and F19 under proton bombardment and of Li7, Be9, B10, and Si29 under alpha-particle bombardment. Energy ranges covered differ, but were contained between threshold and 5 Mev for protons and between threshold and 9 Mev for alphas. In several cases cross sections for the inverse reactions, (n, p) and (n, α), have been computed and compared, where available, with direct measurements.
