Reaction Studies with Fast Neutrons

"A new 350 KV power supply was installed, and major modifications of the accelerator were completed. The changes include the installation of new focusing and extractor supplies, an extension of the accelerator column, and the replacement of the isolation transformer by a motor generator set. Improved performance at voltages up to 200 KV was obtained, but a modification of the electrostatic lens system will be required for operation at 350 KV. The results of an investigation of the C/sup 12/(n, alpha )Be/sup 9/ reaction and a search for an excited state in He/sup 5/ are discussed. Work in progress includes: N/sup 14/ and O/sup 16/ (n, alpha ) angular distribution measurements with counters; studies of I/sup 127/ (n,d)Te/sup 126/ using counters and I/sup 127/(n,p)Te/sup 127/ using emulsions; and the development of an E x dE/dx pulse height multiplier."
