The Pu²³⁶(n,f), Pu²³⁷(n,f) and Pu²³⁸(n,f) cross sections have been inferred by utilizing the surrogate ratio method. Targets of Pu²³⁹ and U²³⁵ were bombarded with 28.5-MeV protons, and the light ion recoils, as well as fission fragments, were detected using the STARS detector array at the K150 Cyclotron at the Texas A&M cyclotron facility. The (p, tf) reaction on Pu²³⁹ and U²³⁵ targets was used to deduce the σ (Pu²³⁶(n,f))/σ(U²³²(n,f)) ratio, and the Pu²³⁶(n,f) cross section was subsequently determined for En=0.5–7.5 MeV. Similarly, the (p,df) reaction on the same two targets was used to deduce the σ(Pu²³⁷(n,f))/σ(U²³³(n,f)) ratio, and the Pu²³⁷(n,f)more »« less

Towards Neutron Capture on Exotic Nuclei: Demonstrating $(d, p γ)$ as a Surrogate Reaction for $(n, γ)$

Journal Article Ratkiewicz, A. ; Cizewski, J. A. ; Escher, J. E. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The neutron-capture reaction plays a critical role in the synthesis of the elements in stars and is important for societal applications including nuclear power generation and stockpile-stewardship science. However, it is difficult—if not impossible—to directly measure neutron capture cross sections for the exotic, short-lived nuclei that participate in these processes. In this Letter we demonstrate a new technique which can be used to indirectly determine neutron-capture cross sections for exotic systems. This technique makes use of the (d,p) transfer reaction, which has long been used as a tool to study the structure of nuclei. Recent advances in reaction theory, togethermore »« less
