Validation of neutron data libraries by comparison of measured and calculated neutron leakage spectra
Abstract
Neutron spectra from the 2H(d,n) 3He and 9Be(d,n) 10B neutron source reactions and a Pu-Be source were measured by a pulse height response spectrometer behind slabs of water, graphite, sand, Pb, Al and Fe up to 20 cm thicknesses. A comparison of the measured and the calculated data has given new results for the validation of different data libraries.
