The H_(p,pn)p reaction using coincidence and time-of-flight techniques

[摘要] The reaction H2(p,pn)p has been studied at bombarding energies of 5.0 and 9.0 Mev. by observing the break-up neutron in coincidence with one of the protons. The proton energy was measured in a surface barrier, solid state detector. The neutron energy was determined by its time-offlight, using the delayed proton pulse as a stop pulse for the Time to Pulse Height Converter. The TPH Converter pulse and proton pulse were then observed in slow coincidence with the Bonner Nuclear Laboratories;; computer analyzer system. The efficiency of the neutron detector system for the neutron energies of interest was determined by the H2(d,n)He3 reaction, using the same configuration.
