Description

The absolute cross section of the 3He(n,γ)4He reaction was measured at five energies between En=0.14--2.0 MeV to an accuracy of ∼±10%. The ∼21 MeV gamma rays produced in a 3He gas target were detected at 90 degree with respect to the beam direction. The results are discussed in light of previous measurements of the two-body photodisintegration of 4He
