Abstract

We have developed lithium glass detector arrays to measure the energy spectra of neutrons below 1 MeV. The use of a calibrated neutron source spectrum allows measurement of neutron spectra from 0.070 to 14 MeV. The angular distribution and the neutron energy spectra are reported for the Be(d,n) and Be(p,n) neutron source reactions .The applications of these reactions to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) and neutron radiography are discussed.
