Total cross sections for the emission of protons and alpha particles have been measured for 9.4- and 11-MeV neutrons incident on a 4.11 mg/cm2 thick Type 316 stainless steel target. A newly developed charged-particle time-of-flight spectrometer was used to obtain (n, xp) and (n, xα) cross-section data. The measured gas-production cross sections have been compared with the values predicted on the basis of measured or calculated cross sections of the constituent materials.
