Measurements of neutron differential elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections have been made for /sup 6/Li, /sup 7/Li, /sup 11/B and /sup 13/C. 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 and /sup 13/C + n elastic scattering data have also been completed. For /sup 13/C + n theoretical model calculations have also been carried out and comparisons of these 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 underway. Construction of the long-flight-path tunnel for the swinger magnet facility has begun and development for this facility will continue in the coming year.
