CROSS SECTIONS FOR SOME (n, p) AND (n, /cap alpha/) REACTIONS
The cross sections for the Mg/sup 24/(n, p)Na/sup 24/, Al/sup 27/ Na/sup 24/,Si/sup 28/(n, p)Al/sup 28/, Cr/sup 52/(n, p)V/sup 52/, and Fe/sup 56/ (n p)Mn/ sup 56/ reactions were measured for neutrons produced by the H/sup 3/(d, n)He/sup 4/ reaction. The activation method was used, with the gamma rays which are emitted following beta decay being counted with a NaI(Tl) scintillation crystal. The Mg/sup 24/(n, p)Na/sup 24/ cross section was found to be 219 sintering time 26 mb at 13.0 Mev. The Al/sup 27/ (n, alpha ) Na/sup 24/ cross section varies smoothly from 139 mb at 13.0 Mev to 106 mb at 15.7 Mev. The Si/sup 28/(n, p)Al/ sup 28/ cross section changes smoothly from 370 mb at 12.3 Mev to 160 mb at 18.3 Mev, with a broad peak at 13.5 Mev with the maximum value of 380 mb. The Cr/sup 52/(n, p)V/sup 52/ cross section decreases slowly from 125 mb at 12.3 Mev to 72 mb at 18.3 Mev. The Fe/sup 56/(n, p)Mn/sup 56/ cross section is found to be 131 sintering time 15 mb at 15.3 Mev. The results are generally in agreement in those cases where previous results of others exist. (auth)
