Determining Compound-Nuclear Reaction Cross Sections Via Surrogate Reactions: Approximation Schemes for (n,f) Reactions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:900047
The validity of the Surrogate Nuclear Reactions method in the Weisskopf-Ewing limit and the Surrogate Ratio method are examined for neutron-induced fission of uranium nuclei. Both methods are approximations to the full Surrogate Nuclear Reactions approach, which aims at determining cross sections for compound-nuclear reactions. A nuclear-reaction model is employed to simulate physical quantities that are typically measured in Surrogate experiments and to test commonly-used assumptions underlying the analyses of Surrogate experiments.
