Helium production cross sections for the elements iron, nickel, and copper and for the isotopes 56Fe, S8Ni, 60Ni, and 61Nifor 9.85-MeV neutrons have been measured by irradiation with an intense, quasi-monoenergetic neutron source followed by helium analysis with isotope dilution gas mass spectrometry. The results are in fair agreement with (n,α) cross sections measured by alpha-particle detection and integration over the alpha-particle energies and angular distributions.
