Neutron spectra are measured by the time-of-flight method at laboratory angles from 15 to 120 degfor the reaction Ag(l4N,n) at 50 MeV/nucleon. All spectra are fitted with a moving-source model. The cross-section dependences on bombarding energy and on projectile mass are investigated by comparison with published neutron data from the reactions Ag(14N,n) at 35 MeV/nucleon and Ag(36Ar,n) at 35 MeV/nucleon. Application to biological hazard estimation is anticipated.
