Fewer neutrons are produced from ¹¹B(¹¹B, n) than from ¹¹B(p, n)¹¹C for temperatures from 100 to 800 keV. For temperatures below 300 keV, ¹¹B(d, n)¹²C produces more neutrons than either of these reactions if the normal isotopic mixture of hydrogen is used. Potentials generated by the double-folding method and tested against ⁷Li + ⁷Li data were used to generate ¹¹B + ¹¹B cross sections for energies where there were no measurements.
