The 90° cross-section of the reaction 3 1 H( d , n ) 4 2 He has been investigated over the energy range 100 to 200 keV (energy of bombarding triton) using the 200 keV accelerating set of the establishment. Two methods have been used. As a preliminary experiment the yield of alpha-particles from a thick heavy-ice target was measured per unit charge of incident beam, as a function of deuteron energy, and the variation of cross-section deduced from the gradient of this excitation curve and the range energy relation for tritons in heavy water. Secondly, a comparison was made between the yield of alpha-particles from the D-T reaction and the yield of protons from the D-D reaction when a beam containing both deuterons and tritons was passed through a heavy-water vapour target. (The energy loss in this target was calculated as only a few hundred electron volts.) To do this a simultaneous observation was made of the protons and alpha-particles using the same counter. The values obtained for the cross-section have been compared with the resonance formulae given by Bretscher & French (1949) and by Tascbek, Everhart, Gittings, Hemmendinger & Jarvis (1948) and have been found to be in disagreement with formulae of this type. From considerations of the absolute magnitude of the cross-section it has been deduced that no conventional theory postulating reaction at a distance equal to the sum of the nuclear radii (cf. Konopinski & Teller 1948) will be able to explain this reaction. The evidence for a low-energy resonance (Allan & Poole 1949) is thought to be inconclusive.

Recent fits to low-energy 7Li(p, "Yo)8Be angular distribution and analysing power data suggested a large p-wave strength. It is shown that acceptable fits to the data can be obtained by attributing the p-wave Ml contributions to the tails of the 17 �64 and 18 �15 MeV 1+ levels of 8Be, with p-wave strengths much less than those obtained previously, but only if some of the spectroscopic amplitudes have signs opposite to those suggested by shell model calculations and/or a fit to higher-energy data.

The features of the scattering of fast neutrons by protons are calculated using the Møller- Rosenfeld version of the meson theory of nuclear forces. The experimental results of Occhialini & Powell are used to check the predicted angular distribution of the scattered particles and to determine the mass of the meson; the meson mass indicated is about 215 electronic masses, which agrees with the mass of cosmic ray mesons. The total scattering cross-section predicted by the theory agrees with the empirical results.

ABSTRACTThe constructive interference between direct and indirect channels above the absorption threshold of a core level leads to a massive increase in the emission cross section leading to a phenomenon called “resonant photoemission”. Using novel magnetic linear dichroism in angular distribution photoelectron spectroscopy experiment we have tried to understand the nature of the resonant photoemission process in Gd metal. The presence of dichroism in Gd 4f photoemission intensity at a photon energy corresponding to resonant photoemission clearly demonstrates the photoemission-like nature of the resonant photoemission process.

The theory of the angular distribution of alpha particles and of fission fragments from nuclei aligned at low temperatures is presented. Very explicit results are obtained in the high temperature approximation. These are directly dependent upon the branching which takes place to the various allowed partial waves. This branching is influenced by the nuclear shape, but it is shown that for this problem the effect of penetrating a spheroidal barrier is not critical. An application is made to the experimental work so far available and the result is reasonably satisfactory.
