Neutron emission cross sections on 184W at 11.5 and 26 MeV and the neutron-nucleus scattering mechanism☆

Abstract Inelastic neutron emission at 11.5 and 26 MeV incident energies has been studied for monoisotopic sample of 184 W. Time-of-flight spectra were taken at several angles between 12° and 160° using a beam-swinger spectrometer. The data are averaged over 1 MeV energy bins and compared with the quantum-mechanical statistical multistep calculations
