Abstract
A graded ionization chamber was used to measure the differential cross sect ions for tritons from the Li-6(pr, t)He-4 reaction at 3.67 and 4.42 MeV. Ne utrons were produced via the D(d, n)He-3 reaction. The absolute neutron flu x was determined through the U-238(n, f) and H(n, p) reactions. At 3.67 MeV the result is almost 90 deg symmetric, but it is obviously forward peaked at 4.42 MeV in the center-of-mass reference system.
