Popis: Double differential neutron spectra (energy, angle) originating from a thick nat Cu target bombarded by a 12 MeV/nucleon 36 S 16 + beam were measured by the activation method and the Time-of-flight technique at the Grand Accelerateur National d’Ions Lourds (GANIL). A neutron spectrum unfolding algorithm combining the SAND-II iterative method and Monte-Carlo techniques was developed for the analysis of the activation results that cover a wide range of neutron energies. It was implemented into a graphical user interface program, called GanUnfold. The experimental neutron spectra are compared to Monte-Carlo simulations performed using the PHITS and FLUKA codes.
