SEARCH FOR THE (<i>n</i>,<i>t</i>) REACTION AT 14 MEV IN SOME MEDIUM WEIGHT NUCLEI

Abstract

The (n,t) reaction at 14.6 Mev has been observed to occur in S 32 with a cross section of 4 ± 1 microbarns. Upper limits for the cross section of this reaction are also given for Ca 40 , Cr 50 , Fe 54 , and Zn 64 and the results are discussed qualitatively in the light of recently reported (10) (n,He 3 ) reactions.
