Deducing the {sup 237}U(n,f) cross section using the surrogate ratio method

Journal Article Burke, J T ; Bernstein, L A ; Escher, J ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We have deduced the cross section for {sup 237}U(n,f) over an equivalent neutron energy range from 0 to 20 MeV using the surrogate ratio method. A 55 MeV {sup 4}He beam from the 88 inch cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was used to induce fission in the following reactions: {sup 238}U({alpha},{alpha}{sup '}f) and {sup 236}U({alpha},{alpha}{sup '}f). The {sup 238}U reaction was a surrogate for {sup 237}U(n,f), and the {sup 236}U reaction was used as a surrogate for {sup 235}U(n,f). Scattered {alpha} particles were detected in a fully depleted segmented silicon telescope array over an angle range of 35 deg.more »« less

Preliminary ²³⁵U(n,f)/⁶Li(n,t)a Cross Section Ratio Data & Update on the ²³⁹Pu(n,f)/²³⁵U(n,f) Cross Section Ratio (FissionTPC FY2019 Report)

Technical Report Snyder, L. A.

The primary motivation for the fissionTPC experiment is to provide precise, accurate data for evaluation of the ²³⁹Pu(n,f) cross section. Neutron induced fission cross sections are typically measured as ratios, with a well known standard cross section being in the denominator. Measuring a ratio removes the need to quantify the neutron beam flux which is difficult to determine accurately. Any cross section ratio measurement is ultimately limited by the accuracy of the standard used. While the ²³⁵U(n,f) standard is well measured some light particle reactions are known as well or better. Light particle reactions also remove some of the sharedmore »« less

Determining (n,f) cross sections for actinide nuclei indirectly: Examination of the surrogate ratio method

Journal Article Escher, Jutta E ; Dietrich, Frank S - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The validity of the surrogate ratio method for determining (n,f) cross sections for actinide nuclei is examined. This method relates the ratio of two compound-nucleus reaction cross sections to a ratio of coincidence events from two measurements in which the same compound nuclei are formed via a direct reaction. With certain assumptions, the method allows one of the cross sections to be inferred if the other is known. We develop a nuclear reaction-model simulation to investigate whether the assumptions underlying the ratio approach are valid and employ these simulations to assess whether the cross sections obtained indirectly by applying amore »« less

Conference Wilhelmy, J.B. Britt, H.C. ; Gavron, A ; Konecny, E ; ... - Natl. Bur. Stand. (U.S.), Spec. Publ.; (United States)

Neutron induced fission cross sections have been obtained for 26 actinide nuclei using (/sup 3/He,df) and (/sup 3/He,tf) reactions to determine fission probabilities and then multiplying these values by calculated compound nuclear neutron reaction cross sections. Comparison with existing (n,f) data shows this to be a feasible approach for obtaining reliable estimates for (n,f) cross sections where direct measurements are not possible. Theoretical developments in interpreting fission probability measurements are discussed. 8 figures, 1 table. (auth)
