Applications of Recent Measurements of Low Energy Charged Particles Induced Nuclear Reactions on Light Nuclei
This report discusses the applications of deuteron and triton induced nuclear reactions to the general problem of the diagnostics of charged and neutral particle beams and of high temperature deuterium and tritium plasmas. The motivation for these applications lies primarily in the crucial role which such beams and plasmas occupy in the contemporary CTR development effort. Explains that the physical basis of these applications is the sensitive dependence of these cross sections upon the center mass energy of the reactants (in the case of the low energy particle beam) or to the temperature (in the case of a plasma).
