Abstract
This article presents a full program devoted to the calculation and the measurement of the neutron-induced deuteron break-up reaction cross-section between 5 and 10 MeV, and between 20 and 25 MeV. Measurements are compared with theoretical calculations based on the solution of the Faddeev equations for a realistic nuclear Hamiltonian. The experiments were performed at the Tandem 7 MV accelerator at CEA, DAM, DIF, France. The measurements were carried out with a C6D6 detector as active deuterium target located at the center of a 4π neutron counter (see C. Varignon et al., Nucl. Instrum. Methods B 248, 329 (2006)) which allows to count the two neutrons emitted in the 2H(n, 2n)p reaction. Comparisons of the new data and calculations are made with the existing data as well as the CENDL2, JENDL3.3 and ENDF/B-VII evaluations.
