U$sup 238$(n,2n)U$sup 237$ CROSS SECTION FROM 6 TO 10 Mev

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
The cross section for the U/sup 238/(n,2n)U/sup 237/ reaction has been measured with incident neutron energies from 6 to 10 Mev and at 16 Mev. The (n,2n) cross section at each neutron energy was obtained by multiplying the ratio of U/sup 237/ atoms to fission events, measured radiochemically, by the appropriate U/sup 238/ fission cross section. These data, together with the data of other investigators for the 13 to 15 Mev region, are used to outline an (n,2n) cross-section curve from threshold to 16 Mev. (auth)
