NEUTRON EXPERIMENTS WITH A TANDEM ACCELERATOR

l963. The Wisconsin tandem accelerator is used part of the time for experiments in neutron physics. In these experiments the properties of neutrons from charged-particle reactions as well as the interaction of neutrons with nuclei are studied. Some of the techniques used and some of the results obtained are described. (auth

Production of hydrogen, deuterium, and helium by 15-MeV neutrons

Measurements were made of the hydrogen and helium production cross sections for both natural elements and separated isotopes which are constituents of metal under consideration for the first wall of fusion reactors. (MOW

E-Division activities report

This report describes some of the activities in E (Experimental Physics) Division during the past year. E-division carries out research and development in areas related to the missions of the Laboratory. Many of the activities are in pure and applied atomic and nuclear physics and in materials science. In addition, this report describes development work on accelerators and on instrumentation for plasma diagnostics, nitrogen exchange rates in tissue, and breakdown in gases by microwave pulses
