AbstractAbstract
[en] Investigations on neutron-induced fission of actinides and the deuteron breakup are presented. Neutron-induced fission has been studied for 10 years at the WNR (Weapons Neutron Research) neutron facility of the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). Thanks to this white neutron source the evolution of the prompt fission neutron energy spectra as a function of the incident neutron energy has been characterized in a single experiment up to 200 MeV incident energy. For some isotopes the prompt neutron multiplicity has been extracted. These experimental results demonstrated the effect on the mean neutron energy of the neutron emission before scission for energies higher than the neutron binding energy. This extensive program (235U and 238U, 239Pu, 237Np and 232Th were measured) is completed by neutron spectra measurements on the CEA 4 MV accelerator. The D(n,2n) reaction is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The cross-section was calculated for several nucleon-nucleon interactions including the AV18 interaction. It has also been measured on the CEA 7 MV tandem accelerator at incident neutron energies up to 25 MeV. Uncertainties lower than 8% between 5 and 10 MeV were obtained. In particular these experiments have extended the measured domain for cross sections. (authors)
