Title: Photoneutron Cross Section Measurements on {sup 9}Be Using Laser-Induced Compton-Backscattered Photons

Conference ·
OSTI ID:784510

Photoneutron cross sections were measured for {sup 9}Be in the energy range from 1.77 to 3.75 MeV using quasi-monochromatic {gamma}-rays produced in laser-induced Compton backscattering. These cross sections are relevant to the reaction rate of the first step of the {alpha}-process of Type II and Type Ib supernovae, i.e. {alpha}({alpha}n,{gamma}){sup 9}Be. Results are compared to the data taken with other photon sources like radioactive isotopes and Bremsstrahlung.
