Measurement of 238U(n,n'gamma)238U* cross sections

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5936258
Production cross sections for gamma-ray transitions produced by 0.5- to 5.0-MeV neutrons on /sup 238/U were measured with a 95-cm/sup 3/ Ge(Li) detector (at 125/sup 0/), the ORELA neutron source, and a recoil proton telescope. From these data and other decay scheme information, inelastic scattering cross sections for levels from 680 to 1224 keV of excitation were constructed and compared with statistical model calculations and the ENDF/B-V evaluation. 5 figures.
