Abstract
Previously published data of secondary neutron spectra from thick targets of C, Al, Cu and Pb bombarded with heavy ions from He to Xe are revised by using a new set of neutron-detection efficiency values for a liquid organic scintillator calculated with SCINFUL-QMD. Additional data have been measured for bombardment of C target by 400-MeV/nucleon C ions and 800-MeV/nucleon Si ions. The set of spectra are compared with the calculation results using a Monte-Carlo heavy-ion transport code, PHITS. It was found that PHITS is able to reproduce the secondary neutron spectra in a wide neutron-energy regime.
