Abstract
A survey of recent experimental and theoretical results (January 1963-July 1965) on fast-neutron-induced reactions is presented. The first part gives an outline of present reaction mechanism theories that may be useful for an experimentalist. A semiclassical and a more exact description of both direct and equilibrium processes is given and a brief discussion of intermediate processes included. The second part gives the experimental results relevant to the understanding of the mechanism of the interaction of neutrons with nuclei: energy spectra, angular distributions, and total cross sections. Finally, a survey is presented of the results and possibilities of utilising fast neutrons for nuclear structure investigations.Keywords
