heal.abstract	Double-differential (n.xp) and (n,xα) cross-section ratio measurements are performed at the 7-MV Van de Graaff accelerator laboratory for neutron energies bewveen 2.0 and 15.6 MeV. The following reaction rate ratios are measured: 58Ni(n,xα) to 27Al(n,α), 58Ni(n,xα) to 58Ni(n,p), 63Cu(n,xp) to 27Al(n,α), and 63Cu(n,xp) to 58Ni(n,p). Protons or alphas are detected by ΔE-ΔE-E telescopes under 14, 51, 79, 109, and 141 deg. The energy spectrum of the emitted particles and the angular yield distribution are measured. First, the measurements provide double-differential cross-section data for 27Al(n,α) and 58Ni(n,p) by normalization to the known total yield reference cross-section values. Subsequently, the reaction rate ratios of 58Ni(n,xα) and 63Cu(n,xp) to 27Al(n,α) or 58Ni(n,p)provide double-differential cross sections of 58Ni(n,xα) and 63Cu(n.xp) in b/(MeV·sr). The measured double-differential cross-section data, the particle energy spectra, the angular distributions, and the total yield cross-section data are compared with measured data from literature and with nuclear reaction model calculations performed at the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements with the computer codes STAPRE-H and EXIFON.	en
