Angular distributions of the /sup 6/Li(n,t)/sup 4/He and /sup 10/B(n,. cap alpha. )/sup 7/Li reactions at 2 and 24 keV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

The angular distributions of charged particles from the /sup 6/Li(n,t)/sup 4/He and /sup 10/B(n,..cap alpha..)/sup 7/Li were measured with monoenergetic neutron beams from a reactor. Silicon surface barrier detectors were used. The /sup 6/Li(n,t)/sup 4/He data were compared with previous results having poorer angular resolution and with an R-matrix calculation. The /sup 10/B(n,..cap alpha..)/sup 7/Li data show a marked anisotropy at 2 and 24 keV for the ground state group and a lesser anisotropy for ..cap alpha..'s leading to the first excited state of /sup 7/Li. Branching ratios are measured at thermal, 2- and 24-keV neutron energies. The results are compared with the R-matrix calculation.
