Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
The O/sup 16/(n,p)N/sup 16/ cross section was measured for 14.7Mev neutrons. A recoil proton telescope was used to measure the neutron flux. Oxygen was incorporated in a liquid scintillator which was irradiated in the flux. The absolute activity of the resulting N/sup 16/ was measured by 4 pi beta counting the solution with two photomultipliers in coincldence. A value of 39.2 plus or minus 1.6 mb was obtained for the cross section. (auth)
