On the mechanism of the (n, 2n) reaction with 14MeV projectiles on127I and209Bi

Abstract

The angular and spectral distributions of coincident neutrons from the reactions127I(n, 2n)126I and209Bi(n, 2n)208Bi have been measured with two time-of-flight detectors at the incident energy 14.1 MeV. Neutron emission has been studied for reaction anglesθ lab between 10° and 150° (relative angles from 60° to 270°). Energy spectra, angular distributions and coincidence yields are compared with statistical model calculations including preequilibrium decay modes, and nuclear level density and spin cut off parameters are derived.
