The Reactions T(p, n)He3 and T(p, γ)He4

Abstract

A differential cross-section curve for neutrons emitted at 0° from the reaction $\mathrm{T}(p, n){\mathrm{He}}^3$ has been measured from threshold to 5.09 Mev. A broad maximum appears at 3 Mev. Angular distributions were taken at approximately 0.4-Mev intervals and are nonsymmetrical about the 90° plane in the center-of-mass system. An 80° relative yield curve of gamma-rays from the $\mathrm{T}(p, \gamma ){\mathrm{He}}^4$ reaction was obtained from 1 to 5 Mev. It increases up to 3-Mev proton energy and then levels off.
