THE DISINTEGRATION OF Ne$sup 20$ BY FAST NEUTRONS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Phys.
The cross section for the Ne/sup 20/(n. alpha )O/sup 17/ reaction was measured for neutron energies between 2.8 and 7.3 Mev. The (n, alpha ) disintegrations were detected in a grid-type ionization chamber filled with neon. The cross section for this reaction varies between 10 and 270 mb in this energy range and shows many narrow resonances. Disintegrations were observed leaving O/ sup 17/ in the ground state and in the first three excited states. (auth)
