Angular distributions of the neutrons from the T(p,n)He/sup 3/ reaction were obtained for incident laboratory proton energies of 3.4, 4.3, 5.0, 6.5, 8.0, 8.8, 10.3, 11.5, and 12.4 Mev. The neutrons were detected by a plastic scintillator, and standard time-of-flight techniques used to separate the monoenergetic neutron group from background neutrons and gamma rays. The distributions in the center-of-mass system showed substantial backward peaking. Above about 8 Mev proton energy, a broad maximum appeared at about 80 deg (c.m.) and persisted through the highest energy measured. (auth)
