Measurement of the branching ratioH3(d,γ)/3H(d,n) using thick tritium gas targets

Abstract
Measurements have been made of the branching ratio for the reactions H3(d,γ)5He/3H(d,n) He4 for several incident deuteron energy ranges between 0 and 0.72 MeV. A stopping length tritium gas target bombarded by a pulsed deuteron beam was used to obtain a high reaction rate as well as provide neutron-gamma ray separation by time of flight. The branching ratio was determined to be 5.6±0.6×105 integrated over the resonance from 0 to 275 keV.
