Measurement of the T + T neutron spectrum using the national ignition facility.

Neutron time-of-flight spectra from inertial confinement fusion experiments with tritium-filled targets have been measured at the National Ignition Facility. These spectra represent a significant improvement in energy resolution and statistics over previous measurements, and afford the first definitive observation of a peak resulting from sequential decay through the ground state of (5)He at low reaction energies E(c.m.) 100
