Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Absolute thick target yields, in terms of neutrons per steradian per triton, of the Li6(t, n)Be8 and Li7(t, n) Be9 reactions are presented. An angular distribution for 2.60-Mev tritons and an excitation function at 0° for tritons in the range 0.80 to 2.60 Mev are given. The Li7 yields are generally about three times larger than the Li6 yields. Some details about the neutron spectra are presented
