Protons accelerated at COSY to kinetic energies of 0.8-2.5 GeV have
been used to measure production cross sections for neutrons and light
charged particles (LCP’s) with thin targets (< 10 mg/cm2) ranging
from Al up to U. The request to provide such data with high accuracy
is a consequence of the current effort to design a new generation of
neutron sources as the European Spallation Source (ESS).
Exclusive data were taken event-by-event with 4π-detectors both
for neutrons and LCP’s. This allows a systematic study of the
characteristic observables for different stages of the temporal
evolution of the spallation reaction: inelastic collision probability,
excitation energy distribution, pre-equilibrium emission, and inclusive
production cross sections. Intra-nuclear-cascade-models coupled with
evaporation-models have been confronted with the data. A satisfactory
agreement for the production of neutrons but considerable differences
for LCP’s are observed between experiment and calculations as well as
between different models.
