Notes:
High-temperature inertial and magnetically confined plasmas are copious emitters of γ rays and neutrons. Some γ-ray and neutron reactions of interest are D+He3→Li5+γ (16.7), D+P→He3+γ (5.5 MeV), D+T→He5+γ (16.6 MeV), D+D→He4+γ (23 MeV), and D+D→He3+n (2.45 MeV). In order to test and absolutely calibrate γ-ray and neutron diagnostics for such reactions, we are investigating the feasibility of renovating a Cockcroft–Walton accelerator which resides in our laboratory. We will report on the status of this work. This work was supported by U. S. Department of Energy contract No. DE-AC02-78ET51013.
