1. Name of Experiment:
 ------------------
 FNS/JAERI Time-of-Flight Experiment on Liquid Oxygen Slab With 14 MeV D-T
 Neutrons (1989)

2. Purpose and Phenomena Tested:
 ----------------------------
 The angular neutron spectra leaking from the 200 mm slab of liquid Oxygen
 were measured at several angles.

3. Description of Source and Experimental Configuration:
 ----------------------------------------------------
 The pulsed beam line of the intense 14 MeV neutron source facility at
 Fusion Neutronic Source (FNS) at JAERI was used. The D-T neutrons were
 produced by bombarding the tritium-titanium target with 350 keV deuteron
 beam. The energy spectrum of the neutron source is given in Table 2.

 The slab assembly of liquid gas was set at the distance of 200 mm from the
 D-T neutron source. The assembly is made of a cylinder with a double wall
 for for thermal insulation. The void between the walls was evacuated.
 Aluminum foil layers between the walls were inserted to prevent the thermal
 radiation heating. The central area of the container walls was made of very
 thin windows of 300 and 465 mm in diameter to reduce neutron scattering for
 measuring angles. The thickness of the inner cylinder is 200 mm and the
 diameter 600 mm. The details of the container geometry are shown in Figure 1.

 The atom density of Oxygen is 4.2947E-2 atoms/barn.cm.

4. Measurement System:
 ------------------
 The neutron spectra were measured with the time-of-flight (TOF) technique.
 A cylindrical NE213 scintillator (50.8 mm-diameter, 50.8 mm-long) was
 used as a neutron detector. The aperture size of the collimator was such
 that the scintillator detected only neutrons leaking from the central
 area of the slab surface behind the source. The scintillators were
 located about 7 m (see Table 1) from the cylindrical slab and at angles
 of 0, 12.2, 24.9, 41.8, and 66.8 degrees with respect to the deuteron beam
 axis. The energy range between 0.05 and 15 MeV was measured by combination
 of two bias schemes described in [2]. The details of the experimental
 set-up are shown on Figure 2.


5. Description of Results and Analysis:
 -----------------------------------
 The measured angular neutron flux spectra are given in Table 3.
 The spectra were calculated from the following expression (see Figure 3
 for definitions):

 F(omega,E)=C(E)/(eps(E).dOmega.As.Sn.T(E))

 where C(E) is detected neutron counts, eps(E) the neutron detection
 efficiency, dOmega the solid angle subtended by the detector to the point
 on the center of slab surface (=Ad/L*L, where Ad=detector area and
 L=distance from the slab surface to the detector), As is the effective
 measured area defined by the detector-collimator system on the plane
 perpendicular to its axis, Sn number of source neutrons emitted from the
 D-T target, and T(E) the attenuation correction due to scattering in air.

 Error Assessment:
 The experimental errors in the measured neutron spectra include only
 statistical deviation (1 sigma).

 Example of Experiment Analysis:
 The sample input for the MCNP-4B code in ref. [10] is given in file
 mcnp4b.inp. The calculations were performed using ENDF/B-VI Rev.1 data
 from the original MCNP library. The results for the neutron spectrum
 calculation are compared with the measurements in Figures 5 and 6 for
 different angles.

 The sample input for the DOT-3.5 code taken from ref. [9] is given in
 file dot35.inp. For the description of the calculational procedure see
 ref. [4] and [8].
