C$sup 12$(n,p) B$sup 12$ CROSS SECTION FOR 14.9- TO 17.5-MEV NEUTRONS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4278096
The cross section for the C/sup 12/(n,p)B/sup 12/ reaction has been measured for 14.9- to 17.5-Mev nuetrons. The neutrons were obtained from the T(d,n)He/sup 4/ reaction and their flux density was determined by counting the recoil alpha particles or by counting the neutrons directly with a Li/sup 6/I(Eu) scintillation counter. A cylindrical plastic scintillator 5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length served as the carbon-containing target and permitted the counting of the B/sup 12/ decay beta rays in nine consecutive 7-msec intervals during the beam-off period or a pulsed neutron beam cycle. The cross section rises from slightly above the reaction threshold of 13.6-Mev to a value of 29.09 plus or minus 4.36 millibarns at 17.5 Mev. The B/sup 12/ beta decay half life has been redetermined as 18.87 plus or minus 0.50 milliseconds. (auth)
