T-2 Applied Nuclear Physics Applications
Charged-particle Reactions
contact Anna Hayes of T-2 for more information
1. Hydrodynamical Mixing: Reactions with shell only take place if shell within stopping length
Determine (scipt L)mix and mix chunkiness
2. Stopping Powers: The knock-on fluence has a direct functional dependnece on stopping power
Different T+^9Be reactions determine the stopping
Neutron Reactions
1. Shell implosion velocity. Crucial for ignition Measure via ^9Be(n,p)^9Li
2. Shell Geometry after implosion: degree of ablation and the compression
Determine pdeltaR of ablator from ^9Be(n, alpha)^6He
Difference between pdeltaR for ^Be and Cu --> ~deltaR
Specific Applications: spectra for MTS
