Measurement of neutron activation cross sections for major elements of water, air and soil between 30 and 70 MeV

Abstract

Neutron activation cross sections between 30 and 70 MeV were measured by the activation method using a semi-monoenergetic neutron field settled at the AVF cyclotron of the Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center (CYRIC), Tohoku University. Natural samples of N, O, Si, Na, Ca and Mg which are the major elements of water, air and soil were irradiated in this neutron field generated through the {sup 7}Li(p,n){sup 7}Be reaction by 30, 35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 MeV protons on thin Li target. Neutron yields were measured with the time-of-flight method using a calibrated NE213 organic liquid scintillator. From the induced activities measured with the HPGe detectors, we estimated the excitation functions of 15 cross sections. (author)
