Summed spectra

bull W Ratynski and F Kaumlppeler Phys Rev C 37 595 (1988)

bull Fit from 0-90 keV of aEexp(-EkT) with kT = 25 keV

Claudia Lederer EFNUDAT final workshop 31-08-2010

effect on cross-section

example 197Au(n) (ENDF-B7 library)

bull 632 mb for Ratynski and Kaumlppeler spectrum

bull 630 mb for PTB spectrum

bull PINO- a tool for simulating neutron spectra resulting from the 7Li(pn) reaction R Reifarth et al Nucl Instr Meth A 608 139 (2009)

Missing Monte-Carlo simulations of exp setup

Conclusions

bull ldquoaging-effectrdquo of target causing shift to lower energies but cannot explain differences in different flight paths

bull neutron spectrum not sensitive to different targets

bull low and high energy-end of spectrum comparable to Ratynski and Kaumlppeler measurement

bull differences to Ratynski and Kaumlppeler between 10-60 keV

bull good agreement to PINO simulation up to 15 keV

bull MC-simulations of various experimental effects underway
