Abstract
MOST neutron workers hitherto have used Ra-Be, Ra-B or Ra-F as sources; these yield neutrons with continuous ranges of energies extending up to several m.e.v. The D—D nuclear reaction is considered to yield a homogeneous group of neutrons of about 2 m.e.v. energy. It is of interest, therefore, to know whether or not D—D neutrons can excite the nuclear reactions of the non-capture type reported by investigators using the radioactive sources.
