Abstract
Measurements of the neutron spectrum from the T(t,2n)[superscript 4]He (tt) reaction have been conducted using inertial confinement fusion implosions at the OMEGA laser facility. In these experiments, deuterium-tritium (DT) gas-filled capsules were imploded to study the tt reaction in thermonuclear plasmas at low reactant center-of-mass (c.m.) energies. In contrast to accelerator experiments at higher c.m. energies (above 100 keV), these results indicate a negligible n+[superscript 5]He reaction channel at a c.m. energy of 23 keV.
