DT fusion through the He "Bretscher state" accounts for of our existence via nucleosynthesis and for the possibility of fusion energy
Mark B. Chadwick, Mark W. Paris, Brian M. Haines
In big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), the deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reaction, D(T,n), enhanced by the 3/2 resonance, is responsible for 99% of primordial He. This has b…
The earliest DT nuclear fusion discoveries
M. B. Chadwick, G. M. Hale, M. W. Paris +6
We describe the earliest measurements of the DT fusion cross section commissioned by the Manhattan Project, first at Purdue University in 1943 and then at Los Alamos 1945-6 and lat…
Who Invented the Trinity Nuclear Test's Christy Gadget? Patents and Evidence from the Archives
T. A. Chadwick, M. B. Chadwick
The Christy Gadget is the informal name for the plutonium device detonated in the Trinity test on July 16, 1945. In September 1944, Robert Christy, working in the theoretical implo…
Nuclear Science for the Manhattan Project and Comparison to Today's ENDF Data
M. B. Chadwick
Nuclear physics advances in the US and Britain, from 1939-1945, are described. The Manhattan Project's work led to an explosion in our knowledge of nuclear science. A conference in…
Foreword: Manhattan Project Nuclear Science & Technology Developments at Los Alamos
M. B. Chadwick
A collection of articles reviewing Trinity on its 75th anniversary.
Late Time Emission of Prompt Fission Gamma Rays
P. Talou, T. Kawano, I. Stetcu +3
The emission of prompt fission rays within a few nanoseconds to a few microseconds following the scission point is studied in the Hauser-Feshbach formalism applied to the deexc…
