Study of structure of nuclei with neutrons and nuclear data measurements for MFE. Progress report, September 1, 1980-July 1, 1981

OSTI ID:6224925
Measurements of neutron differential elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections have been made for /sup 13/C and /sup 18/O. For /sup 7/Li + n, a multichannel R-matrix analysis has been completed, providing much new structure information for the compound /sup 8/Li system. These results are in very good agreement with recent theoretical model calculations, so that together the two provide considerable advancement in the state of our knowledge of /sup 8/Li. R-matrix analyses of /sup 11/B + n, /sup 12/C + n, /sup 13/C + n and inelastic scattering data have also been completed. For all three nuclei, comparisons of theoretical results with the R-matrix analysis are made. The triplet quadrupole spectrometer (TQS) is now fully operational. Development of new detectors, techniques, data analysis codes and theoretical model codes for use with the TQS system is complete. Measurements of (n,z) cross sections for fusion reactor structural materials e.g., /sup 58/Ni are currently under way. Construction of the long-flight-path tunnel for the swinger magnet facility is complete and the first preliminary test experiment gave very promising results.
