Abstract
The (d,n) reaction, on thick (/sup 9/Be, /sup 12/C, /sup nat/Cu, /sup nat/Mo, /sup 181/Ta, /sup 197/Au) and thin (/sup 9/Be) targets, have been performed at /b E//sub d /=16, 33, 50 MeV; neutron spectra, angular distributions, and doses are compared with estimations. The 50 MeV neutron beam from the /sup 9 /Be(d,n) reaction has been used to study the neutron transmission through some shielding materials, i.e. steel, lead, lucite, borated paraffin, and concrete.
