Abstract
The angular distribution of neutrons from the reaction has been measured for the proton energies between 3.5 and 10.9 MeV and from the reaction at 7.1 and 8.2 MeV over the angular range of 0 to 150°. The polarization of the neutrons from the two reactions was measured for proton energies from 7 to 11 MeV and neutron emission angles between 0 and 80°. Both experiments employed the Livermore time-of-flight facility. Neither the angular distribution nor the angular dependence of the polarization of the neutrons changes appreciably with increasing proton energy, while for the reaction, both the angular distribution and polarization are quite energy-sensitive. These results are not in agreement with the twin-reaction hypothesis of Bloom et al.
