The total neutron cross section of {sup 10}B from 80 eV to 100 KeV and from 1.5 to 18 MeV

Conference ·
OSTI ID:68081

The {sup 10}B(n,{alpha}) neutron cross section standard has aroused the interest of the community of cross section measurers, evaluators and users because both of its importance and its relatively poor data base, which caused problems to the evaluators of the ENDF/B-VI files. In the framework of the NEANSC International Inter-Laboratory Collaboration on the {sup 10}B(n,{alpha}) Standard Cross Section, the total cross section of {sup 10}B was measured at IRMM with two pulsed neutron sources, i.e. the 100 MeV GELINA and the 7MV Van de Graaff. The total cross section of C and of {sup 11}B were determined, both as a test of the accuracy of the measurements and in order to determine the contribution of the {sup 11}B cross section.
