dc.description.abstract	A test run of a new 4π neutron detector has been performed, studying the collisions of 30 Mev/u ¹⁴N with ¹⁰⁹Ag and ⁶⁰Ni. Average neutron multiplicities of the two reactions were determined after correction for background effects and the efficiency of the detector. The observed multiplicities were much higher than the anticipated numbers, in the best efficiency Ag case, M ranged from 5.6 to 6.8. An explanation for the lost neutrons has also been explored, but cannot account for all of them. Another test of the neutron detector is now underway.	en
