Quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams, in the energy range 7–11.5 MeV, produced via the 2H
(d, n) reaction, have been used at the 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of
NCSR “Demokritos”. The flux variation of the neutron beam is monitored with a BF3 detector,
while the absolute flux is obtained with respect to reference reactions. An investigation of the
energy dependence of the neutron fluence has been carried out using two independent
techniques: by a liquid scintillator BC501A detector and deconvolution of its recoil energy …
