Charged-particle emission in reactions of 15-MeV neutrons withY89,Zr90, andMo92,94,95,96

Charged-particle emission cross sections, spectra, and angular distributions have been measured for targets of ${}_{}{}^{89}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Y}$, ${}_{}{}^{90}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$, and ${}_{}{}^{92,94,95,96}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mo}$ bombarded with 14.8-MeV neutrons. A magnetic quadrupole spectrometer served to detect the charged particles. Evidence for both statistical and pre-equilibrium reaction mechanisms was found in the proton, deuteron, and alpha-particle emission. The cross sections and spectra are compared with calculations based on these reaction models.
