The excitation function for /sup 48/V from tritons on natural titanium

Natural titanium is used as a diagnostic charged particle detector in nuclear device tests making use of the proton and deuteron reactions, which produce vanadium 48 as a product. The presence of tritons in the reaction environment can also produce vanadium 48 from triton reactions on titanium 3, titanium 47 and titanium 48. Triton reaction cross sections for titanium have been measured so that corrections to the proton and deuteron diagnostic data can be accurately calculated. These measurements were made using the Van de Graaff at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
