Angular distributions of neutrons scattered by a particles were measured from 16-to 26-MeV neutron energy by observing the recoiling a particles in a high-pressure gas scintillator. Above 22 MeV, disintegration particles from the He i (n,d)T reaction were observed, also. Data were taken in 25-keV steps over the He 5 state at 16.7-MeV excitation energy (22.15-MeV neutron energy) and over the He 4 (w,w/>)T, He 4 (^,w')He 4 *, and He 4 (w,2w)He 3 thresholds. Total cross sections of helium were measured at 26 energies from 20-to 29-MeV neutron energy in a good geometry transmission experiment. Angular distributions at neutron energies < 24 MeV were fitted with expansions of Legendre polynomials. Polynomials of order 0 through 4 provided a satisfactory fit. Below 22 MeV the angular distributions agree with calculations based on n-a phase shifts suggested by Perkins. Above 22 MeV the agreement is not as good. The total cross sections agree only qualitatively with these calculations. The total cross section and angular-distribution data are consistent with a § + assignment for the 16.7-MeV level. The measured yield curve for the He 4 (n,d)T reaction agrees with that computed from the cross section for the inverse reaction. * Present address: Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, England. 1 1.
