Abstract
Double-differential cross sections (energy spectra) for proton and deuteron
emission in fast neutron induced reactions on oxygen are reported for nine incident neutron
energies between 25 and 65 MeV. Angular distributions were measured at 15 laboratory angles
between 20
and 160. Procedures for data taking and data reduction are presented. Deduced
energy-differential, angle-differential and total cross sections are also reported.
Experimental cross sections are compared with existing data and with theoretical model
calculations.
