During the past year we have been engaged in the following research areas: (1) analysis of the measurements of excitation functions for /sup 232/Th neutron elastic scattering as well as inelastic scattering for the first two excited states at 49 and 162 keV from 0.9 to 2.5 MeV incident energy; (2) elastic and inelastic neutron scattering angular distribution measurements on /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U and /sup 232/Th at 550 keV; (3) neutron scattering angular distribution measurements on /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U and /sup 232/Th at 200 keV; (4) /sup 235/U (n,n'..gamma..) measurements; (5) preparation of an iron-filter neutron time-of-flight spectrometer; (6) presentation of results of (n,n') studies on states above 680 keV in /sup 238/U in a collaborative effort with Dr. E.D. Arthur of Los Alamos National Laboratory; (7) theoretical neutron inelastic scattering cross section calculations for /sup 232/Th, /sup 238/U and /sup 240/ /sup 242/ /sup 244/Pu and (8) improvements to the accelerator operation. 25 refs., 14 figs.
