The total neutron yields from thick targets bombarded by electrons were measured as a function of electron energy for the range 10 to 36 MeV. Photoneutron yield result from Bremsstrahlung radiation induced by the electron beam. Targets ranging in thickness from one to six radiation lengths of C, Al, Cu, Ta, Pb, and U were used. Documentation, experimental and computational datasets are provided.
