Abstract

The neutron energy spectrum of the following sources were measured using a fast neutron spectrometer with the NE-213 liquid scintillator: 252Cf, Am-Be and D(d,n)3He reaction from a 3 MeV Pelletron accelerator in Tokyo Institute of Technology. The measured proton recoil pulse height data of 252Cf, Am-Be and D(d,n)3He were unfolded using the mathematical program to obtain the neutron energy spectrum. The 252Cf and Am-Be neutron energy spectra were measured and the results obtained showed a good agreement with the spectra usually published in the literature. The neutron energy spectrum from D(d,n)3He was measured and the results obtained also showed a good agreement with the calculation by time of flight (TOF) methods.
