Sensitive cross section of a bacterium, Escherichia coli, to fast neutrons

An experiment was performed to determine the sensitive area of a lyophilized bacterium, <u>Escherichia coli</u>, to fast (14Mev.) neutrons. The neutrons were obtained from the H³(d,n)He⁴ reaction produced in the Cockeroft-Walton accelerator at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The reaction...
