Neutron-Induced Breakup of Deuterium at 14 MeV

ORAL

Abstract

Abstract: The double-differential cross-section for neutron-induced breakup of deuterium D(n,2n)p at 14 MeV has been measured using an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) platform. Subnanosecond impulses of 1013 to 1014 14-MeV neutrons, generated in direct-drive laser ICF implosions, are used to irradiate deuterated targets on the OMEGA Laser System.1 The experimental double-differential cross section is well reproduced by three-body calculations using realistic NN and 3N nuclear forces.
