Normalization of the [sup 239]Pu fission cross section
Abstract
Measurements have been performed at the Geel Linear Accelerator from 0.01 eV up to 1,000 eV in order to investigate the normalization of [sup 239]Pu fission cross-section measurements. Two different experiments were performed using surface barrier detectors and a double ionization chamber, respectively. In both cases, the [sup 10]B(n, [alpha]) reaction was used as a flux monitor. The results indicate that the Weston and Todd data should be renormalized by [approximately]3%, resulting in a satisfactory agreement with ENDF/B-VI.
