Cross-sections for the production of alpha particles from the ¹²C(n,α)⁹Begs and ¹²C(n,n')3α reactions were measured for incident neutrons in the energy range 25 to 52 MeV. The measurements were reduced to absolute cross-sections by simultaneously observing deuteron recoils from n-d elastic scattering in the scintillator using D(n,n)D elastic scattering cross-section as a reference standard. Neutron energy was determined by time-of-flight and pulse shape discrimination (PSD) was used to identify and separate alphas and deuterons from other reaction products. The feasibility of distinguishing different mechanisms for the ¹²C(n,n')3α reaction by means of PSD was also investigated. 2016-03-04T16:52:49Z 2016-03-04T16:52:49Z 1994 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17513 eng application/pdf Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
