Abstract

Neutron energy determination is crucial in (\(\alpha ,n\)) reaction studies, where emitted neutrons span a broad energy range influenced by reaction kinematics and target properties. This work presents an experimental method using an array of moderated \(^3\)He proportional counters to determine neutron energies. Optimized moderator configurations and Monte Carlo-supported spectral unfolding enable reliable reconstruction of neutron spectra without time-of-flight measurements. The system offers a practical and efficient approach for neutron energy characterization, applicable to nuclear data validation and shielding design.
