Summary:

We have developed a system over the past few years at the Manuel Lujan, Jr. Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE) for making (n,p) and (n,α) measurements on (mainly) radioactive nuclei. Measurements have included ⁷Be(n,p)⁷Li, ¹⁴N(n,p)¹⁴C, ¹⁷O(n,α)¹⁴C, ²²Na(n,p)²²Ne, ²²Na(n,α)¹⁹F, ³⁵Cl(n,p)³⁵S and ³⁶Cl(n,p)³⁶S. The major basic physics motivation for these measurements has been the nuclear astrophysics to be learned. Currently, we are assembling a 4π detector of barium fluoride (BaF₂) for making (n,γ) measurements on radioactive nuclei with relatively short half lives. Once operational, this new detector should allow us to expand our measurements to many more nuclei, and to a broader range of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics issues addressed. Results of recent measurements are given and future plans are discussed. 38 refs., 2 figs.
