We have developed a system over the past few years at the Manuel Lujan, Jr. Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE) for making (n,p) and (n,&agr;) measurements on (mainly) radioactive nuclei. Measurements have included7Be(n,p)7Li,14N(n,p)14C,17O(n,&agr;)14C,22Na(n,p)22Ne,22Na(n,&agr;)19F,35Cl(n,p)35S and36Cl(n,p)36S. The major basic physics motivation for these measurements has been the nuclear astrophysics to be learned. Currently, we are assembling a 4&pgr; detector of barium fluoride (BaF2) for making (n,&ggr;) measurements on radioactive nuclei with relatively short half lives. Once operational, this new detector should allow us to expand our measurements to many more nuclei, and to a broader range of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics issues addressed. Results of recent measurements are given and future plans are discussed.
