Experimental double differential cross section data for neutrons in the high-energy region are still scarce because of the difficulty of producing high-energy neutrons. The present work studies the possibility of producing high-energy neutrons by interaction of a deuteron beam with matter. The Geant4 toolkit is used to simulate the interaction between a deuteron beam and matter. An analytical method is also developed to calculate the neutron yields produced in the interaction of the deuteron beam with matter. The input cross section data are not only taken from the TEDNL-2017 library but are also calculated by the isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model. It is shown that it is possible to produce high-energy neutrons by interaction of a deuteron beam with matter. If one wishes to produce high-energy neutrons, a low-$Z$ target and a small emission angle may be considered. A thin target is a good choice if one wishes to produce neutrons with a smaller energy peak width.

由于难以产生高能中子，因此在高能区域中子的实验性双微分截面数据仍然很少。目前的工作研究了氘核束与物质相互作用产生高能中子的可能性。Geant4工具包用于模拟氘核束与物质之间的相互作用。还开发了一种分析方法来计算氘核束与物质相互作用产生的中子产率。输入的横截面数据不仅从TEDNL-2017库中获取，而且还通过与同旋异构体有关的量子分子动力学模型进行计算。结果表明，氘核束与物质的相互作用可能产生高能中子。如果要产生高能中子，可以用低能中子$ž$目标并且可以考虑小的发射角。如果希望产生能量峰值宽度较小的中子，则薄靶是一个不错的选择。
