Summary

The (n, 2n) reaction from127I at 14.5 MeV incident neutron energy has been studied. NaI is used as a target as well as a detector of gamma-rays. The measured angular distributions of neutrons in coincidence with a pulse height are found to be symmetric about 90° and agree well with the predictions of the theory of statistical decay of the compound nucleus.

Riassunto

Si studia la reazione (n, 2n) da127I all’energia dei neutroni incidenti di 14.5 MeV. Si usa NaI sia come bersaglio che come rivelatore di raggi gamma. Si trova che la distribuzione angolare misurata dei neutroni in coincidenza con un’altezza d’impulso è simmetrica circa di 90 gradi ed è in buon accordo con le previsioni della teoria del decadimento statistico dei nuclei composti.

Резюме

Исследуется (n, 2n) реакция на127I при энергии падающих нейтронов 14.5 МэВ. NaI используется как мищень, а также как детектор гамма-лучей. Измеренные угловые распределения являются симметричными относительно 90 градусов и хорошо согласуются с предсказаниями теории статистического распада компаундядра.
