Cross sections for the ⁴⁷Ti(n,p)⁴⁷Sc and ⁶⁴Zn(n,p)⁶⁴Cu reactions have been measured for quasi-monoenergetic DD neutrons produced by the UC Berkeley High Flux Neutron Generator (HFNG). The HFNG is a compact neutron generator designed as a “flux-trap” that maximizes the probability that a neutron will interact with a sample loaded into a specific, central location. The study was motivated by interest in the production of ⁴⁷Sc and ⁶⁴Cu as emerging medical isotopes. The cross sections were measured in ratio to the ¹¹³In(n,n')¹¹³mIn and ¹¹⁵In(n,n')¹¹⁵mIn inelastic scattering reactions on co-irradiated indium samples. Post-irradiation counting using an HPGe and LEPS detectors allowed for cross section determination to within 5% uncertainty. The ⁶⁴Zn(n,p)⁶⁴Cu cross section for 2.76_-0.02^+0.01 MeV neutrons is reported as 49.3 ± 2.6 mb (relative to ¹¹³In) or 46.4 ± 1.7 mb (relative to ¹¹⁵In), and the ⁴⁷Ti(n,p)⁴⁷Sc cross section is reported as 26.26 ± 0.82 mb. The measured cross sections are found to be in good agreement with existing measured values but with lower uncertainty (<5%), and also in agreement with theoretical values. This work highlights the utility of compact, flux-trap DD-based neutron sources for nuclear data measurements and potentially the production of radionuclides for medical applications.
