An Integral Experiment to Measure the Tritium Production From Li7 By 14 Mev Neutrons in a Lithium Deuteride Sphere

A sphere of LiD 2 feet in diameter was irradiated by 2 x 10<sup>15 14 Mev neutrons. Samples of Li<sup>7 metal were positioned at various radii for the irradiation. An analysis of these samples for tritium led to a determination of the number of tritons produced by 14 Mev neutrons acting on Li<sup>7 in a LiD system.

A Measurement of the [Lithium-7] Cross-Section for Several Neutron Energies From 4 to 15 Mev by Absolute Counting Techniques

A measurement of the [Lithium-7] reaction cross section by absolute counting of the tritium betas is described. The cross section was measured at several neutron energies between 4 Mev and 15 Mev. A comparison with results by emulsion techniques is given.
