Planning a 2H(N,P)2N Experiment to Measure the Neutron-Neutron Scattering Length

一个规划补助金被授予设计一个H2（n，p）2n实验，并建立北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学和Traingle大学核研究实验室之间的研究合作。 PI将在今年夏天设计一个实验，从n+d散射的研究中测量中子散射长度。 目标是试图解决先前测量值与来自pi+d捕获反应的该量的估计值之间的差异。 一个更广泛的目标是建立一个研究合作。 ***

A planning grant is awarded to design a H2 (n,p) 2n experiment and to establish a research collaboration between North Carolina A&T State University and the Traingle Universities Nuclear Research Laboratory. The PI would spend this summer designing an experiment to measure the neutron scattering length from studies of n+d scattering. The goal is to try to resolve discrepancies between previous measurements and from estimates of this quantity from pi+d capture reactions. A broader goal is to establish a research collaboration. ***
