Abstract

The angular distribution of n-d scattering was investigated in the energy range from 400 keV to 2.5 MeV using the recoil detection method, irradiating a proportional counter filled with deuterated gases with monoenergetic neutrons. Several techniques were employed to minimise the contribution of photons to the pulse-height distributions. A dedicated Monte Carlo model was developed to determine the differential cross section that best reproduces the measurements. The results are compared with the theoretical calculation of Canton et al. and the ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluation.
