Fast neutron forward distributions from C, Be, and U thick targets bombarded by deuterons

Abstract

Measured angular and energetic distributions of neutrons obtained by bombarding Be, C, and U thick targets with ^{2}H at 17, 20, and 28 MeV incident energies are reported. The data were obtained using the time-of-flight method. The energetic distributions of neutrons were determined at 0°, 5°, 10°, and 20°. The data are compared with a modelization based on stripping formalism extended for thick targets.
