Proton energy and angular distributions from (n, p) and (n, np) reactions

Abstract The proton energy and angular distributions from (n, p) and (n, np) reactions on 27Al, 32S, 59Co and 58Ni have been measured for 14.1 MeV neutrons. The proton detection threshold was approximately 2 MeV and the reaction angles from 0° to 120° were used in 20° increments. Thin isotopically pure targets and particle discrimination were used. The level-density parameters, nuclear temperatures and total (n, p) and (n, np) cross sections are reported. Direct contributions are estimated.
