DOWNLOAD EBOOKCross sections were measured for the /sup 14/N(n, p/sub 0/) reaction from 0.5 to 7.0 MeV and for the (n, .cap alpha./sub 0/) and (n, .cap alpha./sub 1/) reactions from 1 to 15 MeV and 4 to 15 MeV, respectively. The data were obtained using a gaseous scintillator containing N/sub 2/ and Xe mixtures. A linac was used as a pulsed, white neutron source with a 29-m flight path. The results of the measurement are compared to the current evaluated file for nitrogen; agreement is good for neutron energies below 8 MeV, but the measurement is substantially higher than the evaluation for neutron energies near 10 MeV. 28 references.
