Neuron-Proton Scattering At 23.6 Mev, Jerome G. Beery
Neuron-Proton Scattering At 23.6 Mev, Jerome G. Beery
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The angular distribution for neutron-proton scattering was measured at a neutron energy of m3.6 MeV. The measurement was made using the Los Alamos Variable Energy Cyclotron and a liquid hydrogen bubble chamber. The angular distribution was normalized to a total n-p cross section of 408 mb.
The Diffraction Of Polarized Light From A Laser By A Straight Edge, Robert Lawrence Berger
The Diffraction Of Polarized Light From A Laser By A Straight Edge, Robert Lawrence Berger
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect of the polarized light from a highly coherent light source on the diffraction pattern of a metallic straight edge.
Fast Neutron Induced Fission Of U238, Michael J. Bennett
Fast Neutron Induced Fission Of U238, Michael J. Bennett
Physics & Astronomy ETDs
This work describes an experimental study of the energetics of the fission of U238 performed with solid state detectors. The fissions were produced by fission-spectrum neutrons from a reactor. The procedure used for calibrating the detector response is described and the effects of some experimental uncertainties, such as pulse height defect and neutron emission, are discussed.
