Neutron activation cross sections of medium-Z nuclei at 14. 4 MeV

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6477070

Activation cross sections are measured for isotopes of nickel, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, cadmium, tin, tellurium, antimony, iodine, barium, and cesium. From the measured (n,2n) cross sections an empirical formula as a function of only Z and A of the target nucleus is obtained. From the statistical model with the constant nuclear temperature approximation for level densities and other approximation, equations are derived to calculate (n,2n), (n,np), (n,pn), (n,p), (n,alpha), and (n,d) cross sections. 59 refs., 15 figs., 12 tabs.
