SUMMARY
The Vienna Group investigated scattering cross sections of neutrons and determined the range and mass of nuclear fragments. The (a,n) nuclear reaction was therefore available to the nuclear physics community as a way to produce neutrons, referred to as a neutron source. The newly discovered neutron was employed as the other forms of radiation had been: the known elements were bombarded with neutrons and an attempt was made to extrapolate the nuclear reaction that had taken place by analyzing the end products. Fermi also irradiated uranium with neutrons; however, he did not succeed . . .
