The effect of low-energy neutrons on activation cross-section measurements was analyzed carefully and proved by the measured neutron spectra of T(d,n)⁴He and D(d,n)³He reactions. The ⁵⁸Ni(n,p)^58m+gCo and ⁶⁴Zn(n,p)⁶⁴Cu reactions were used to confirm this analysis, and their cross sections were measured accurately. In addition, their evaluated excitation functions are given.
