Capture of 14.4-Mev Neutrons by Protons and Deuterons

Abstract
A counter telescope in connection with a two-dimensional analyzer has been applied to determine the ratio of the 14.4-Mev neutron capture and elastic scattering cross sections. The cross section for the capture by protons was determined to be 31.6±3.1 μb. This value is in reasonable agreement with the theoretically predicted value. The cross section for the capture of neutrons by deuterons was found to be 29.4±5.8 μb.
