Recoil Deuterons and Disintegration Protons from then−dInteraction, andn−pScattering atEn=14.1Mev

A counter-telescope consisting of two proportional counters and a NaI scintillator in triple coincidence has been used to study the angular distribution of scattered deuterons and disintegration protons from the interaction of 14.1-Mev neutrons with deuterium. Charged reaction products were identified by simultaneous observation of particle energy and rate of energy loss. Thin radiators of deuterated and normal polyethylene were used, the latter to investigate the incident neutron spectrum and $n-p$ scattering at 14.1 Mev.
