Directly measuring (n,2n) cross sections on short-lived actinides presents a number of experimental challenges: scattered beam can produce a neutron background in the detectors, fission produces a substantial neutron background, and making a target from a short-lived isotope can be extremely difficult. The surrogate reaction technique is an experimental method for measuring cross sections on short-lived isotopes, and it provides a unique solution for measuring (n,2n) cross sections which addresses all three of these concerns. This technique involves measuring a charged-particle reaction cross section, where the reaction populates the same compound nucleus as the reaction of interest.
