The n-d total cross section was measured at 241 different energies to a precision of 5.7-1.0% and an energy resolution of 2.0-5.1% for 2.25 <£"< 15.0 MeV. The results support the correctness of present three-body calculations, and exhibit no evidence for a Wigner cusp near the predicted threshold for dineutron production. In the absence of such a cusp, an experiment of this type furnishes very little information regarding the existence of the dineutron, or of violations of charge independence.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
