THE NON-ELASTIC NEUTRON CROSS-SECTION FOR URANIUM AT 13-19 MeV AND BERYLLIUM AT 14 Mev

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Energy, Pts. A and B. Reactor Sci. and Technol.

The nonelastic cross sections of uranium and beryllium have been measured for neutrons of 14.08 Mev using a sphere absorption technique. The results are: U, 2.89 plus or minus 0.05 barns; and Be, 0.50 plus or minus 0.035 barns. The cross section for inelastic scatter to the Be level at 2.43 Mev is 0.20 plus or minus 0.045 barns. The variation with energy of the nonelastic cross section of uranium has also been investigated, using neutrons from 13.35 Mev to 18.54 Mev. (auth)
