The Detection of Lyman Alpha Radiation Formed by the Slowing Down of Protons and Tritons Produced by the (3)He (n, tp) Reaction—A Model Study

The observation of Lyman alpha (Lα) radiation produced by the end products of the (3)He (n,tp) reaction has suggested the possibility of a new method of cold thermal neutron detection. In order for this goal to be achieved, a basic understanding of how the Lα radiation is formed and how it may be de...

description The observation of Lyman alpha (Lα) radiation produced by the end products of the (3)He (n,tp) reaction has suggested the possibility of a new method of cold thermal neutron detection. In order for this goal to be achieved, a basic understanding of how the Lα radiation is formed and how it may be detected, is needed. The model study described here is an attempt to provide this basic understanding and to provide quantitative results that can be used in designing future experiments.
