Thresholds for /sup 116/Sn(p,n) and /sup 118/Sn(p,n)

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The /sup 116/Sn(p,n) and /sup 118/Sn(p,n) thick-target integrated cross sections were measured up to about 100 keV above the thresholds and fitted by the Hauser--Feshbach statistical theory. It is shown for these nuclei that the familiar plot of the thick-target yield to the two-thirds power is not valid, except for an impractical region very near threshold. It is also shown that ..gamma..-ray emission dominates over neutron and proton emission for more than 100 keV above each threshold. The deduced thresholds are 5531 +- 6 keV for /sup 116/Sn and 4477 +- 3 keV for /sup 118/Sn. The corresponding Q values, 5483 +- 6 keV and 4439 +- 3 keV, disagree with values from the literature.
