A study of the elastic scattering of 2-3 MeV neutrons by 40Ca and 32S using an associated particle time-of-flight spectrometer

  • 1. Aston Univ., Birmingham (UK)

Description

The associated particle time-of-flight spectrometer based on the D(d, n)3He reaction has been developed using thin deuterated polythene targets. The competing D(d, p)3T was used to monitor the neutron output. The spectrometer has been used to study the elastic scattering of a 2-3 MeV neutron in 40Ca 32S; in each case the differential elastic scattering cross-sections have been measured. In the angular range of 20-1000 in the laboratory frame of reference the results have been compared with an optical model analysis using the computer code RAROMP. Values of chi2 per point of 3.46 and 2.84 for 40C and 32C were obtained. (author)
