Title: Estimation of d-² H Breakup Neutron Energy Distributions From d-³ He

Abstract

A method is described to estimate deuteron-on-deuteron breakup neutron distributions at 0° using deuterium bombardment of ³He. Break-up neutron distributions are modeled with the product of a Fermi-Dirac distribution and a cumulative logistic distribution function. Four measured break-up neutron distributions from 6.15- to 12.0-MeV deuterons on ³He are compared with thirteen measured distributions from 6.83- to 11.03-MeV deuterons on deuterium. Model pararmeters that describe d^-3He neutron distributions are used to estimate neutron distributions from 6- to 12-MeV deuterons on deuterium.

NEUTRONS FROM D + T AND D + H

Thesis/Dissertation Poppe, C H

Measurements of the low-energy neutron spectra produced by bombarding tritium and hydrogen with deuterons have been made over a wide range of deuteron bombarding energies and neutron emission angles. The neutron spectra for tritium were observed at deuteron energies from approximates 5 to approximates 12 Mev at laboratory angles up to 70 deg . Spectra for hydrogen were observed at deuteron energies from approximates 7 to approximates 12 Mev at laboratory angles up to 20 deg . Deuterons were accelerated with a tandem electrostatic accelerator, and the neutron spectra were obtained using pulsed-beam time-of- flight spectrometry. After subtraction of backgrounds,more »« less
Breakup energy spectrum of singlet deuterons measured using [ital d]+[ital d][r arrow][ital d][sup *]+[ital d][sup *] four-body reaction at 15. 7 MeV

Journal Article Ying-Ji, Z ; Jian-hua, H ; Jin-qing, Y ; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (United States)

A kinematically complete measurement of the four-body breakup reaction [ital d]+[ital d][r arrow][ital d][sup *]+[ital d][sup *][r arrow][ital p]+[ital n]+[ital p]+[ital n] has been performed at 15.7 MeV bombarding energy. A ring-detector system consisting of a charged-particle detector and a neutron detector is used to define a singlet deuteron, i.e., [ital d][sup *]; a charged-particle detector is used to measure spectra of products produced by another [ital d][sup *] at five angles. A velocity-distribution diagram has first been obtained, and by performing a fit the most probable breakup energy of the singlet deuteron in the laboratory system is obtained, 0.054[plusmore »« less

NEUTRONS FROM DEUTERON BREAKUP ON D,T, AND He$sup 4$

Journal Article Lefevre, H W ; Borchers, R R ; Poppe, C H - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

The continuous neutron spectra produced by deuteron bombardment of D, T, and He/sup 4/ have been studied at deuteron energies near 9 Mev with a time-of- flight spectrometer. Angular distributions of the continuous spectra from D + d and He/sup 4/ + d were obtained for deuteron energies of 9 and 10 Mev. The center-of-mass angular distributions are peaked forward for neutrons of all energies. Two maxima present in the 0 deg spectrum from He/sup 4/ + d at E/sub d/ = 10 Mev are consistent with the interpretation that He/sup 5/ and Li/sup 5/ are produced in their groundmore »« less

The breakup reaction {sup 4}He({ital {rvec d}},{ital p}{alpha}){ital n} at {ital E}{sub {ital d}}=7.0 MeV has been investigated in a kinematically complete experiment with vector and tensor polarized deuterons in a kinematical situation with zero relative energy of the two outgoing nucleons, a preferred situation to show effects from the singlet deuteron {ital d}{sup *} and therefore isospin breaking.

BREAKUP OF DEUTERONS ON H, D, He$sup 3$ AND He$sup 4$

Journal Article Rybakov, B V ; Sidorov, V A ; Vlasov, N A - Nuclear Phys.

Continuous neutron energy spectra produced by bombardment of H, D, He/ sup 3/, and He/sup 4/ with 18.6 Mev deuterons and D with 8.6 Mev protons and 34.6 Mev alpha particles were studied by the time-of-flight technique. Peaks in the neutron spectra from the p + d and alpha + d reactions were observed which are satisfactorily explained by pair interactions between the reaction products in the final state. No such peaks were found in the spectra of the d + d and He/sup 3/ + d reactions. Their shape also differs significantly from that corresponding to the statistical distributionmore »« less
