Yeah sorry about all the abstracts, I'm just asking theoretical questions. Has anyone done experiments with neutron bombardment of paraffin using alpha irradiated beryllium/ aluminum source? Maybe that could give me a better idea of the energies involved.
So paraffin bombarded with neutrons from an alpha irradiated beryllium/aluminum source will produce gamma and a deuteron? What would be the approximate expected energy of the deuteron?
When paraffin wax (or borated paraffin) is bombarded with neutrons, what does the paraffin emit? (If memory serves me correctly I think it emits protons...?) Also what are typical energies that the emitted particles have?
