Title: Elastic and inelastic neutron cross sections for Boron-10 and Boron-11

Journal Article · · Nucl. Sci. Eng.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5088078

Neutron cross sections have been measured for /sup 10/B and /sup 11/B. Elastic angular distribution data for /sup 10/B are reported for incident neutron energies of 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, and 14.0 MeV. Elastic scattering data and inelastic scattering data for states at excitation energies of 2.14, 4.46, and 5.04 MeV in /sup 11/B are reported for incident neutron energies of 8.0, 9.0, 9.7, 9.9, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, and 14.0 MeV. Legendre coefficients for angular distributions are obtained. All data are corrected for finite geometry and multiple scattering effects through a light-element Monte Carlo code. The angle integrated data for /sup 11/B are in disagreement with ENDF/B-IV for the higher neutron energies.
