Angular Distribution of 14-Mev Neutrons Scattered by Tritons

Abstract

Tritons recoiling from 14-Mev neutrons were observed in a coincidence counter telescope. The angular distribution of neutrons scattered through angles between 180\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 90\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} in the center-of-mass system was investigated. Absolute differential scattering cross sections were obtained by comparison with hydrogen. No evidence for the presence of disintegration protons or deuterons was found.
