Abstract

Neutron yields during irradiation of structural metals and polymer film by argon, krypton, and xenon ions with 2.4 and 2.5 MeV/nucleon energies are measured on the CYTRACK and DC-110 cyclotrons. The angular distributions of neutrons from the target are measured. The LISE++ is used for extrapolating the data obtained to other ions, their energy, and to other targets. The program was tested on experimental data found in the literature. As a result of comparison, it is established that the calculation results coincide with the experimental data within a coefficient of two.
