A wave of new U.S.-U.K. deals ahead of Trump’s state visit
President Trump will arrive in the United Kingdom this week for a state visit that promises to include the usual pomp and ceremony alongside the signing of a landmark new agreement on U.S.-U.K. nuclear collaboration.

A method is described to estimate deuteron-on-deuterium breakup neutron distributions at 0 deg using deuteron bombardment of 3He. Breakup neutron distributions are modeled with the product of a Fermi-Dirac distribution and a cumulative logistic distribution function. Four measured breakup neutron distributions from 6.15- to 12.0-MeV deuterons on 3He are compared with 13 measured distributions from 6.83- to 11.03-MeV deuterons on deuterium. Model parameters that describe d-3He neutron distributions are used to estimate neutron distributions from 6- to 12-MeV deuterons on deuterium.
