Title: Measurements of (n,3n) cross sections for /sup 235/U and /sup 238/U. [4 to 22 MeV, neutron spectra, statistical pre-equilibrium model]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6583808

Cross sections were measured for the /sup 235/U(n,3n) reaction from 14.8 to 21 MeV, for /sup 238/U(n,2n) from 14.7 to 19 MeV, and for /sup 238/U(n,3n) from 14.7 to 22 MeV with /sup 3/H(d,n) neutrons and a large liquid scintillator tank, and (n,xn) and fission cross sections from 4 to 22 MeV were calculated for both nuclei using a statistical, preequilibrium model. Also calculated were the individual spectra of the two (n,2n) and three (n,3n) neutrons. 15 references.
