Stellar nucleosynthesis and the 24-keV neutron capture cross sections of some heavy nuclei

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5566510
The neutron capture cross sections of /sup 112/Sn, /sup 130/Ba, /sup 146/Nd, /sup 148/Nd, /sup 186/W, /sup 190/Os, and /sup 192/Os at 24 keV neutron energy were measured with respect to /sup 197/Au by activation in a 24 keV neutron beam at the Brookhaven High Flux Beam Reactor. The reliability of this technique was verified by remeasuring the cross section of /sup 186/W and comparing it to previous measurements. This continuing series of measurements will provide a more reliable data base for nucleosynthesis calculations. 12 references.
