Partial kerma factors for neutron interactions with 12C at 20 < En < 65 MeV
Abstract
New measurements of elastic and inelastic scattering of 20-26 MeV neutrons from 12C are presented and analyzed in terms of a deformed optical model potential. Results of these analyses have been compared with other recent differential and total neutron scattering measurements and with proton scattering data in order to develop a consistent representation of the energy dependence of the n- 12C interaction over a broad energy range. Applications of the data and the model to problems in neutron dosimetry are discussed.
