“…Thus, similar to the case of medical applications, detailed knowledge of the nuclear interaction of neutrons with silicon, and even oxygen, are needed. These, together with an adequate description of the electrical and geometrical properties of the decives might lead to a full understanding of the SEU problem [16].…”

The MEDLEY facility at the The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) in Uppsala has successfully been used in several light-ion production and elastic scattering experiments at 96 MeV. The recent upgrade of the neutron beam facility at TSL now makes the energy range up to 175 MeV accessible. To match the higher energies MEDLEY has been equipped with larger CsI detectors and first tests runs have been performed. The research program at MEDLEY has been extended to include, e.g., studies of neutron-induced fission, especially angular distributions of the fission fragments, over a wide energy range. We present the current status of the facility and the planned research program.

The present status of neutron beam facilities above 20 MeV is reviewed. Presently, two main techniques for neutron production at these energies are used; white beams and quasi-monoenergetic beams. The performances of these two techniques are discussed, as well as the use of such facilities for measurements of nuclear data for fundamental and applied research. Recently, two novel ideas on how to produce extremely intense neuton beams in the 100-500 MeV range have been proposed. Decay in flight of beta-delayed neutron-emitting nuclei could provide beam intensities five orders of magnitudes larger than present facilities. A typical neutron energy spectrum would be essentially mono-energetic, i.e., the energy spread is about 1 MeV with essentially no lowenergy tail. A second option would be to produce beams of 6 He and dissociate the 6 He nuclei into α particles and neutrons. The basic features of these concept are outlined, and the potential for improved nuclear data research is discussed.

Elastic neutron scattering from 12 C, 14 N, 16 O, 28 Si, 40 Ca, 56 Fe, 89 Y and 208 Pb has been studied at 96 MeV in the 10 − 70 degree interval, using the SCANDAL (SCAttered Nucleon Detection AssembLy) facility. The results for 12 C and 208 Pb have recently been published, while the data on the other nuclei are under analysis. The achieved energy resolution, 3.7 MeV, is about an order of magnitude better than for any previous experiment above 65 MeV incident energy. A novel method for normalization of the absolute scale of the cross section has been used. The estimated normalization uncertainty, 3 %, is unprecedented for a neutron-induced differential cross section measurement on a nuclear target. Elastic neutron scattering is of utmost importance for a vast number of applications. Besides its fundamental importance as a laboratory for tests of isospin dependence in the nucleon-nucleon, and nucleon-nucleus, interaction, knowledge of the optical potentials derived from elastic scattering come into play in virtually every application where a detailed understanding of nuclear processes are important. Applications for these measurements are nuclear waste incineration, single event upsets in electronics and fast neutron therapy. The results at light nuclei of medical relevance ( 12 C, 14 N and 16 O,) are presented separately. In the present contribution, results on the heavier nuclei are presented, among which several are of profound relevance to accelerator-driven systems for transmutation.
