At TUNL particular emphasis is placed on reactions induced by polarized protons, deuterons, and neutrons. We also continue 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 for the development of 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 voltages of 4 MV. The ungraded K machine, with its associated equipment, provides intense beams of very high energy resolution. The older 4 MV accelerator is now enjoying renewed research usefulness in a program funded by the National Science Foundation for the study of plant processes utilizing /sup 11/C as a tracer. Research and development progress is detailed. Publications are listed. (WHK)
