By using an internal lithium deuteride target in the Harwell cyclotron, and hardening the resulting scattered neutrons with polythene, a low intensity beam of neutrons with an energy peak at 50 Mev was produced. This beam passed through a 9 cm hydrogen bubble chamber and produced the reactions of the type n + p yields + gamma which were distinguished by the range-angle distribution of the deuterons from the background of elastic n-p scatters. A cross section of 110 plus or minus 60 mu was found for the process. (auth)
