Angular Distributions of the D+D Neutrons

Abstract

The angular distributions of the neutrons produced in the $\mathrm{D}(d, n){\mathrm{He}}^{3}$ reaction have been investigated experimentally in the deuteron energy range of 0.25 to 0.825 Mev. A two-crystal neutron spectrometer providing discrimination against gamma radiation was used as the detector. It is noted that the experimental data can be fitted by the deuteron stripping theory.
