Recent Total Neutron Yield Measurements (open access)

Recent Total Neutron Yield Measurements

The report summarizes results obtained since September, 1951, by total neutron yield experiments using 190 Mev deuterons and the MnSo4 tank method (UCRL-1375 and UCRL-1480). A new method of beam monitoring has resulted in establishing firmly the absolute yield for solid uranium and thorium primary targets backed by a solid uranium secondary. The beam monitoring was done by using a primary target built into a faraday cup. This method circumvents errors caused by recombination in the ionization chambers used previously.

The U²²⁷ Collateral Series

The following report describes data from the continuation of investigations which led to the observation and characterization of five artificial radioactive chains collateral to the natural radioactive families that has lead to the partial identification of one additional chain, collateral to the actinium family.
