Neutron polarizations from the9Be(d,n)10B and11B(d,n)12C reactions

Abstract

Neutron polarization angular distributions were measured for the9Be(d,n)10B and11B(d,n)12C reactions for deuteron energies of 5.47 and 5.34 MeV, respectively. Using neutron time-of-flight techniques, polarizations to eight states in10B and to six states in12C have been measured. Neutron polarization energy excitation functions for both reactions were measured for deuteron energies from 3.0 to 5.5 MeV in 0.25 MeV steps at 30° (lab). Distorted wave method calculations carried out to compare theoretical calculations against experimental results were not in good agreement with the data.
