Abstract
The reactions Be-9(n,3n)Be-7 and Fe-56(n,p)Mn-56 were measured between 28 and 68 MeV and at 28 MeV, respectively. These reactions lead to the emission of gamma-rays (478, 847, 1811 keV) that may be disturbing in gamma-ray astrophysics missions. Consequences regarding the induced background in detectors are drawn. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
