Neutron cross sections of deuterium in the energy range 0.0001 eV to 20 MeV

Abstract

Experimental and theoretical data for the neutron cross sections of D are surveyed and values adopted for total and partial cross sections. To facilitate neutronics calculations, angular distribution functions based on n + d and the conjugate reaction p + d are given. The experimental data used, with some comments, and a brief account of the evaluation procedure are presented.
