Measurement of the /sup 238/U (eta,. gamma. ) cross section with an Fe-filtered neutron beam. [24. 3 to 181. 4 keV]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6876342
The neutron capture cross section of /sup 238/U was measured near 24.3, 69.8, 80.3, 131.0, 165.9 and 181.4 keV with the Fe-filtered neutron time-of-flight technique. The measured capture cross sections at these energies are respectively (496 +- 15), (297 +- 22), (190 +- 9), (167 +- 6), (128 +- 7), and (118 +- 6) mb. The evaluated ENDF/B-IV capture cross section is in satisfactory agreement with the results of this measurement near 24.3 and 131.0 keV, but discrepancies of about 10 to 20 percent are observed at the other energies.
