Description

A collimated beam of 50 MeV neutrons with a polarization of 0.46+-0.02 and a flux of approximately 104n/cm2s at 3 m is produced via the T(d,n(pol))4He reaction. Beams up to 20 μA of 38 MeV deuterons are directed through a liquid nitrogen cooled, pressurized (5.5 atm) tritium target. Details of the design, construction, and operation of the neutron facility are presented. The procedures for transferring the tritium to and from the target are also discussed as well as several safety features. (Auth.)
