Neutron Spectra form thep+dReaction

Abstract

The energy and angular distributions of neutrons from the $p+d\to n+p+p$ reaction have been measured for incident protons of energy 6.06, 7.15, 8.90, and 13.5 Mev. The peak in the neutron spectra near the maximum neutron energy is in qualitative agreement with the calculations of Heckrotte and MacGregor.
