Title: Measurement of the ${}^{242 m}{Am}$ neutron-induced reaction cross sections

Abstract

The neutron-induced reaction cross sections of ^242mAm were measured at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center using the Detector for Advanced Neutron-Capture Experiments array along with a compact parallel-plate avalanche counter for fission-fragment detection. A new neutron-capture cross section was determined, and the absolute scale was set according to a concurrent measurement of the well-known ^242mAm(n,f) cross section. The (n,γ) cross section was measured from thermal energy to an incident energy of 1 eV at which point the data quality was limited by the reaction yield in the laboratory. Our new ^242mAm fission cross section was normalized to ENDF/B-VII.1 to set the absolute scale, and it agreed well with the (n,f) cross section from thermal energy to 1 keV. Lastly, the average absolute capture-to-fission ratio was determined from thermal energy to E_n = 0.1 eV, and it was found to be 26(4)% as opposed to the ratio of 19% from the ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluation.

Here, the neutron-capture cross section for ²³⁸Pu was measured by using the detector for advanced neutron-capture experiments (DANCE) array, which is a highly segmented and highly efficient 4π γ-ray calorimeter. The neutron-capture events were recognized by the total γ-ray energy deposited in DANCE, which is equal to the reaction Q value plus the incident neutron energy. The absolute neutron-capture cross section was derived as a function of incident neutron energy from thermal to about 30 keV. The measured cross section for incident neutron energy below 18 eV was performed for the first time by using the direct method and doesmore »« less

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.

We present that the normalized ²³⁸U(n,f)/²³⁵U(n,f) cross section ratio has been measured using the NIFFTE fission Time Projection Chamber (fissionTPC) from the reaction threshold to 30 MeV . The fissionTPC is a two-volume MICROMEGAS time projection chamber that allows for full three-dimensional reconstruction of fission-fragment ionization profiles from neutron-induced fission. The measurement was performed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center, where the neutron energy is determined from neutron time of-flight. The ²³⁸U(n,f)/²³⁵U(n,f) ratio reported here is the first cross section measurement made with the fissionTPC, and will provide new experimental data for evaluation of the ²³⁸U(n,f) cross section, anmore »« less

The first direct measurement of the ²⁴²Pu(n,γ) cross section was made over the incident neutron energy range from thermal to ≈ 6 keV, and the absolute scale of the (n,γ) cross section was set according to the known ²³⁹Pu(n,f) resonance at E_n,R = 7.83 eV.

The cross section was determined with the ratio method, which is a technique that uses the ²³⁵U(n,f) reaction as a reference. The results of the experiment are reported in the resolved and unresolved resonance energy regions.
