Neutron-deuteron breakup and quasielastic scattering
… 200 MeV region is studied by impinging a pulsed neutron beam on a deuterium target at the Weapons Neutron Research facility at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The scattered neutrons from the d(n,np)n reaction are detected by a wall of neutron time-of-flight scintillators, and scattered …

Low energy neutron-proton interactions
… have been few measurements of cross sections for neutron-proton scattering and radiative capture below 1 MeV. Those measurements which do exist are at a small number of energies and are often inconsistent with theoretical models and with each other. We have conducted several experiments with the …
