/sup 26/Al/sup g,m/ production cross sections from the /sup 23/Na(. cap alpha. ,n)/sup 26/Al reaction

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5129298
Cross sections have been determined for the production of /sup 26/Al/sup g,m/ from the /sup 23/Na(..cap alpha..,n) reaction. Total /sup 26/Al production cross sections were obtained from measurements of the thick-target neutron yield. /sup 26/Al/sup m/ cross sections were measured using an activation technique. /sup 26/Al/sup g/ cross sections were deduced by subtracting the /sup 26/Al/sup m/ cross sections from the total (..cap alpha..,n) cross sections. The principle of detailed balance has been applied to the low energy data to obtain cross sections for the astrophysically interesting /sup 26/Al/sup g/(n,..cap alpha../sub 0/)/sup 23/Na reaction. These results are compared with the results of Hauser-Feshbach calculations.
