“…The absolute efficiency of the neutron detector has been measured between E, = 6 MeV and E , = 14 MeV by means of the D(d, n)3He reaction where the 3He and its associated neutron are detected in coincidence; these results have been compared with the efficiency calculated by a Monte Carlo program written by Stanton (1971); the agreement was found to be sufficiently satisfactory for extrapolating the method to higher energies (Leleux, Macq, Meulders and Pirart 1974).…”

Neutron production from targets of Be, C, Mo, Cu, Ta and Au bombarded with deuterons of 16, 33 and 50 MeV has been studied at the isochronous cyclotron at Louvain-la-Neuve. Neutron spectra were measured by the time of flight method. The yields of neutrons and gamma rays were also measured, and the greatest ratio of neutrons to gamma rays in the forward direction was found to occur with 50 MeV deuterons on a Be target. The angular distribution of neutrons from Be was measured at 16, 33 and 50 MeV, and neutron spectra were measured as function of angle with 50 MeV deuterons on Be.
