Title: Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence of U-235 above 3 MeV

Conference ·

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Passport Systems have collaborated to conduct measurements to search for a nuclear resonance fluorescence response of U-235 from 3 to 5 MeV using an 8 g sample of highly enriched uranium. These new measurements complement previously reported measurements below 3 MeV. Preliminary analysis indicates that no strong resonances exist for U-235 in this energy range. A second set of measurements focused on a signature search in the 5 to 10 MeV range is still under analysis.
