Overview of secondary neutron production relevant to shielding in space.
An overview of experimental secondary neutron measurements relevant to space-related activities is presented. Stopping target yields and cross section measurements conducted at particle accelerators using heavy ions with energies > 100 MeV per nucleon are discussed.
