Design of a Gas Delivery System for use with a Fission Time Projection Chamber

ORAL

Abstract

Developing advanced nuclear reactors and waste recycling techniques requires an improvement in many basic nuclear physics measurements. To address part of this need a Time Projection Chamber is being constructed to measure fission cross sections to a higher precision than traditional fission chambers. This talk will discuss how a Time Projection Chamber works and the details of a gas delivery system being constructed for use with it.
