A MEASUREMENT OF THE O$sup 16$(n,p)N$sup 16$ CROSS SECTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4032338
Preliminary results are given for an experiment for measuring the energy dependence of the O/sup 16/(n,p) cross section. The cross section was measured by bombarding an O/sub 2/-containing liquid scintillator in ring geometry, transferring the scintillator to a shielded vessel, and detecting the N/sup 16/ beta decay. For a neutron energy of 14.4 Mev, the cross section was determined to be 34 plus or minus 4 mb. Details of the experimental procedure and apparatus are described. (D.L.C.)
