Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory annual report, TUNL XX, January 1-August 31, 1981
The varied research programs described reflect a decision by TUNL to devote its major resources to the study of the multiple facets of nuclear structure which can be probed through light ion induced nuclear reactions. Particular emphasis is placed on reactions induced by polarized protons, deuterons, and neutrons. Also there is a major commitment to the study of the statistical properties of nuclear structure revealed by elastic and inelastic scattering experiments using ultra high resolution beams. A third major laboratory commitment involves measurements of fast neutron cross sections required by the Department of Energy's program to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion. The major accelerator facilities of the laboratory include a model FN tandem Van de Graaff accelerator and a 15 MeV fixed energy negative ion cyclotron injector. These accelerators coupled together, constituted the world's first Cyclo-Graaff. The laboratory has two additional single ended Van de Graaff accelerators with terminal energies of 4 MV and 3 MV, respectively. The latter accelerator, with its associated equipment, provides intense beams of very high energy resolution. Progress is described on neutron cross section experiments, neutron polarization studies, charged particle experiments with polarized beams, radiative capture reactions, accelerator based atomic physics, and accelerator development and instrumentation.
