摘要
The response of some superheated emulsions was investigated using quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams in the 46–134MeV energy range at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain la Neuve, Belgium and at The Svedberg Laboratory, Uppsala, Sweden. In order to determine the detector response to the high-energy beams, the spectra of incident neutrons were folded over functions modeled after the cross-sections for the neutron-induced production of heavy ions from the detector elements. The cross-sections for fluorine and chlorine were produced in this work by means of the Monte Carlo high-energy transport code HADRON based on the cascade-exciton model of nuclear interactions.
