PROGRESS REPORT ON NUCLEAR PHYSICS FOR APRIL-JUNE 1962

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4769150
Work in neutron physics research was devoted to development of a neutron velocity spectrometer, aspects of fission in U/sup 235/ and Pu/sup 239/, neutron reactions (n,p) at 3.2 Mev, development of a He/sup 3/ spectrometer, elastic scatterlng of neutrons by O, neutron polarization in the reaction ed particle investigationa were concerned with evaluation of the duoplasmatron source, development of a pyrex leak for He, angular distributions in Mg/sup 25/(d,p) reactions at 3 to 5 Mev, and hyperfine structure of O/sup 15/. Light particle investigations were conducted to measure the lifetime of the second excited state in Ni/sup 60/ and Ti/sup 46/. Other work is reported on measurement of the BETA - branching ratio of 3.7 hr Lu/sup 176/. Theoretical investigations were conducted to determine the structure of low-lying 2+ states in even-even nuclei and beta-gamma angular correlations. Development is reported on semiconductor detection devices, amplifiers, currert regulators, pulse analyzers, time delay generators, oscillators, and an automatic turntable code translating unit.
