dc.description.abstractA measurement of the H(n, dγ) cross section at low energy is being performed on flight path 15R from Target 4 at WNR with incident neutron energies between 100 keVand 1 MeV. This deuteron formation experiment is key to improving calculations of the baryon density in Big Bang Nucleosynthesismodels. The deuterons are created and detected in a plastic scintillatoractive target. Gamma rays released by the neutron-proton capture reaction are detected in a BrilLanCedetector. Scattered neutrons from n-p elastic scattering detected in two neutron detectors are used for calibrating the active target ADC spectrum.
