Abstract

The angular distributions of elastically scattered 14 MeV neutrons have been measured for Li⁶, Li⁷, and natural Li from 20° to 130°. Inelastic scattering to the 2.18 MeV level in Li⁶ and the 4.6 MeV level in Li⁷ has been measured over a more restricted angular range. In Li⁶ the 3.57 MeV level is not excited appreciably. The inelastic neutrons from the 2.18 MeV level in Li⁶ and the 4.6 MeV level in Li⁷ are peaked in the forward direction, which is indicative of a direct reaction.

Multiple neutron scattering effects in fusion reactor materials
1986, International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part
The variations of the 14 MeV neutron scattering differential cross-sections due to multiple scattering effects have been measured in the possible fusion reactor materials, lithium and lead.
Measurements were made using an associated particle time of flight technique and the neutrons were produced using the ³H(d,n)⁴He reaction with the deuterons being accelerated by a 150 kV Sames type J accelerator.
The differential cross-sections were measured for various thicknesses of the elements and a phenomenological expression found which predicts this variation with sample thickness to within ± 12%.
