Abstract

Four ΔE E telescopes were used at the WNR (n,Z) station to investigate the production of charged particles from ¹⁰B. The telescope consisted of a gas proportional detector and a silicon surface barrier detector. The flux was determined using a ²³⁸U fission chamber. A clear separation of the ground state alpha group and first excited state a was not achieved due to the target thickness. Proton emission was also observed. Furthermore, the proton branch was up to an order of magnitude larger than predicted in ENDF/B-VII A simple R-matrix analysis has been performed on the available data

Study of the ({sup 3}He,t) Charge Transfer Reaction as a Surrogate for Neutron Energy Between 10 to 20 MeV

Journal Article Basunia, M S ; Clark, R M ; Bleuel, D L ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We have indirectly determined the {sup 237}Np(n,f) cross section over an equivalent neutron energy range from 10 to 20 MeV using the surrogate reaction {sup 238}U({sup 3}He,tf). A self-supporting {approx}761 {mu}g/cm{sup 2} metallic {sup 238}U foil was bombarded with a 42 MeV {sup 3}He{sup 2+} beam from the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Outgoing charged particles and fission fragments were identified using the Silicon Telescope Array for Reaction Studies (STARS) consisted of two 140 {mu}m and one 1000 {mu}m Micron S2 type silicon detectors. These results were compared with the {sup 237}Np(n,f) cross section data from themore »« less

LOS ALAMOS NEUTRON SCIENCE CENTER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE POWER REACTORS

Conference GAVRON, VICTOR I ; HILL, TONY S ; PITCHER, ERIC J ; ...

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) is a large spallation neutron complex centered around an 800 MeV high-currently proton accelerator. Existing facilities include a highly-moderated neutron facility (Lujan Center) where neutrons between thermal and keV energies are produced, and the Weapons Neutron Research Center (WNR), where a bare spallation target produces neutrons between 0.1 and several hundred MeV.The LANSCE facility offers a unique capability to provide high precision nuclear data over a large energy region, including that for fast reactor systems. In an ongoing experimental program the fission and capture cross sections are being measured for a number ofmore »« less

The (3He,tf) as a surrogate reaction to determine (n,f) cross sections in the 10 to 20 MeV energy range

Journal Article Basunia, M S ; Clark, R M ; Goldblum, B L ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B

The surrogate reaction 238U(3He,tf) is used to determine the 237Np(n,f) cross section indirectly over an equivalent neutron energy range from 10 to 20 MeV. A self-supporting ~;;761 mu g/cm2 metallic 238U foil was bombarded with a 42 MeV 3He2+ beam from the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Outgoing charged particles and fission fragments were identified using the Silicon Telescope Array for Reaction Studies (STARS), consists of two 140 mu m and one 1000 mu m Micron S2 type silicon detectors. The 237Np(n,f) cross sections, determined indirectly, were compared with the 237Np(n,f) cross section data from direct measurements,more »« less

Measurement of /sup 238/U(n,n'. gamma. ) and /sup 7/Li(n,n'. gamma. ) gamma-ray production cross sections. [0. 48 to 5. 0 MeV, preliminary results]

Technical Report Olsen, D. K. ; Morgan, G. L. ; McConnell, J. W.

Time-of-flight techniques and a 95-cm/sup 3/ Ge(Li) detector positioned 20 m from the ORELA white neutron source have been utilized to measure 125/sup 0/ cross sections for the production of gamma rays in /sup 238/U and /sup 7/Li samples by 0.48 to 5.0-MeV neutrons. The incident neutron flux was determined with a proton-recoil telescope which used a solid-state, recoil-proton detector. Altogether, 28 cross sections for /sup 238/U transitions from levels with 680 to 1224 keV of excitation were measured. In addition, 7 branching ratios for weak /sup 238/U transitions and the /sup 7/Li(n,n'..gamma..)/sup 7/Li* (478 keV) cross section were measured.more »« less

Measurement of the ²³⁹Pu$(n, f$) prompt fission neutron spectrum from 10 keV to 10 MeV induced by neutrons of energy 1–20 MeV

Journal Article Kelly, Keegan John ; Devlin, Matthew James ; O'Donnell, John M. ; ... - Physical Review C

Although the prompt fission neutron spectrum (PFNS) is an essential component of neutron-driven systems that has been measured for decades, there are still multiple glaring unknowns regarding the PFNS of major actinides in the fission neutron incident energy range, specifically with regard to multichance fission and pre-equilibrium neutron emission processes. The only impactful experimental ²³⁹Pu PFNS measurements included in recent nuclear data evaluations were measured over a limited outgoing neutron energy range at thermal and 1.5-MeV average incident neutron energy, while other potentially impactful measurements have been shown to contain errors that resulted in either large uncertainty increases or inmore »« less
