Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. Annual report - TUNL XXI, 1 September 1981-31 October 1982
The varied research programs described in this report 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. At TUNL particular emphasis is placed on reactions induced by polarized protons, deuterons, and neutrons. We also continue a major commitment tothe 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 EN 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.
