Abstract: Neutron production is very much important [1]. Two-body reactions are a
convenient and powerful mean to select mono energetic neutrons. A
dedicated beam line for neutron production was developed by using the
reaction D(d,n)3He [2,3]at the tandem accelerator complex TTT-3 located in
the
Department of Physics of the University of Naples. The production rate can
go up to 105 s-1 over 4 pi. Deuterons can be accelerated up to 6 MeV and
the neutron energy and angle can be selected by detecting the associated
particle 3He in coincidence. This neutron beam line can be used for a wide
range of applications.Details will be provided at the presentation.
