Abstract: | Neutron yields have been measured in the bombardment of thin targets containing Li6, Li7, and Be9, by tritium and He3 ions, the energies of the accelerated particles ranging as high as 1.4 Mev. The neutron yield from the reactions Li6(t, n) and Be9(t, n) is proportional to the penetrability of the Coulomb barrier. In the reactions Li7(t, n) and Li7(He3, n), when the kinetic energies of the accelerated particles are small resonances are detected, corresponding to levels of the component nuclei near the threshold of these reactions. The thresholds for formation of slow neutrons have been investigated in the interaction of tritons with Li6, Li7, and Be9 nuclei. In the reactions Li6(t, n)Be8 and Li7(t, n)Be9 slow neutrons are detected, corresponding to the formation of the Be8 nucleus in excited states with energies of 16.08, 16.66, and 16.94 Mev and the Be9 nucleus in a state with energy 10.50 Mev. In the reaction Be9(t, n)B11 no slow neutron thresholds were observed.The nuclear photoemulsion method was used to measure the neutron spectra in all of the investigated reactions at zero angle of incidence. The neutron spectra are in agreement with the established data [1] on the energy levels of the Be8, Be9, Be9, B11, and C11 nuclei.The authors are grateful to all these comrades for their contribution. |
