Description
Reliable data on the 7Li(p,)4He and on 7Li(p,p’γ)7Li reactions cross section are important for many applications, including fusion and accelerator neutron sources with a lithium target. The existing cross-section datasets in the literature are unfortunately inadequate and discrepant in many cases. Measurements of the reactions cross section were carried out at the accelerator-based neutron source at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Novosibirsk, Russia) using a NaI, HPGe γ-ray and alpha spectrometers . The 7Li(p,p’γ)7Li reaction cross section and 478 keV photon yield from a thick lithium target at proton energies from 0.65 MeV to 2.225 MeV have been measured with high accuracy. The 7Li(p,)4He reaction cross section is determined for proton energies E = 0.6-2 MeV. The experimental data are compared to the data from literature, when available.
Plans to measure the 11B(p,) neutronless fusion reaction cross section.
The report will describe the neutron source VITA, present and discuss the results obtained, and declare plans.
