Neutron yield of the reactions Li6(t,n) and Li7(t,n)

The differential cross section is determined for the formation of neutrons at an angle of 0 ° in the reactions Li⁶(t,n) and Li⁷(t, n) in the 0.175–2.4 Mev triton energy range. In the reaction Li⁶(t,n) resonance in the neutron yield is observed at E_t = 1.875 Mev, corresponding to a Be⁹ excitation level of 18.936 Mev.Two resonances are detected in the neutron yield of the reaction Li⁷(t, n): at E_t = 0.765 Mev and E_t = 1.735 Mev, which indicates the presence of Be¹⁰ nucleus excitation levels of 17.78 and 18.46 Mev, respectively. The cross section of the reaction Li⁶(t, n) in resonance is d/d(0 °)_res = 37.2 mb/sr; for the reaction Li⁷ (t, n) the cross section at the first resonance is d/d(0 °)_res = 95 mb/sr; at the second resonance d/d(0 °)_res = 159 mb/sr.The angular distributions of neutrons are given for the interval of angles 0–135 ° (every 15 °) for triton energies of 0.358, 0.559, 1.006, 1.218, 1.370, 1.572, 2.123 Mev.The total cross section for the formation of neutrons at E_t = 2.123 Mev in the reaction Li⁶ (t,n) is equal to 324±32.3 mb in the reaction Li⁷ (t, n) to 1332±83.3 mb.
