Angular distributions of charged particles from nuclear reactions

Abstract

A description is given of equipment built for the measurement of angular distributions of charged particles released in nuclear reactions. Thin targets are bombarded by deuterons or protons accelerated by a cascadegenerator and analyzed by a magnet.

Secondary particles from the target are detected by means of photographic emulsions placed at 15 ° intervals round the target. Results obtained with specific reactions (a.o. Be9(d, p)Be10 and C13(d, p)C14) will be dealt with in separate papers.
