Sensitivity of the simulation of passive neutron emission from UF₆ cylinders to the uncertainties in both ¹⁹F(α,n) energy spectrum and thick target yield of ²³⁴U in UF₆

Journal Article Broughton, David Paul ; Croft, Stephen ; Romano, Catherine ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Interest in safeguards verification measurements using passive thermal neutron counting to assay ²³⁵U content in large 30B UF₆ canisters has grown in recent years. Here, the prohibitively high cost and impracticality of using reference 30B calibration cylinders extensively will likely make accurate simulations of increasing interest. Accuracy of the simulated response will define the confidence in the predicted response and the extent to which simulations can reasonably be relied upon. With ²³⁴U driven ¹⁹F(α, n) reactions being the main neutron source in low enriched UF₆ the uncertainties of the ¹⁹F(α, n) energy spectrum and the thick target yield of ²³⁴Umore »« less

Measurement and analysis of energy and angular distributions of thick target neutron yields from 110 MeV {sup 19}F on {sup 27}Al

Journal Article Sunil, C ; Nandy, Maitreyee ; Sarkar, P K ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Energy distributions of emitted neutrons were measured for 110 MeV {sup 19}F ions incident on a thick {sup 27}Al target. Measurements were done at 0 deg., 30 deg., 60 deg., 90 deg., and 120 deg. with respect to the projectile direction employing the time-of-flight technique using a proton recoil scintillation detector. Comparison with calculated results from equilibrium nuclear reaction model codes like PACE-2 and EMPIRE 2.18 using various level-density options was carried out. It is observed that the dynamic level-density approach in EMPIRE 2.18 gives the closest approximation to the measured data. In the Fermi-gas level-density approach the best approximationmore »« less

Measurement of thick-target high-energy gamma ray yields from the (sup 19}F(p,{alpha}{gamma}){sup 16}O reaction.

Conference Micklich, B J ; Smith, D L ; Massey, T N ; ... - Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A

We measured the photon yields for proton energies between 1.5 and 4.25 MeV using both CaF{sub 2} and MgF{sub 2} solid targets and SF{sub 6} gas targets. Photon yields were measured using a 7.62 cm x 7.62 cm NaI scintillator detector. Detector response functions for these three individual {gamma}-rays were calculated using the Monte Carlo code MCNP-4C. The relative intensities of the three {gamma}-rays were determined by a least-squares fit of these response functions to the data in a selected region of the pulse-height spectrum. A maximum photon yield of 6.0x10{sup 7} {gamma}/{micro}C/sr (at 0 degrees) was determined for themore »« less

Thick target photon yeilds and angular distributions for the {sup 19}F{sub (p,alpha gamma)}{sup 16}O source reaction at incident proton energies between 1.5 and 4.0 MEV.

Journal Article Fessler, A ; Massey, T N ; Micklich, B J ; ... - Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A

The absolute thick target yield of 6.129, 6.917 and 7.116 MeV {gamma}-rays produced from the {sup 19}F{sub (p,{alpha}{gamma})}{sup 16}O source reaction has been measured for incident proton energies between 1.5 and 4.0 MeV. The angular distributions of the respective {gamma}-lines have been determined for incident proton energies of 2.0 and 3.0 MeV. The experiments were performed at the 4.5 MV Tandem Van der Graaff accelerator at the Ohio University Edwards Accelerator Laboratory in Athens, Ohio, using a thick CaF{sub 2} target and a 7.62 cm x 7.62 cm Na(I) scintillation detector. The Monte Carlo code MCNP was used to calculatemore »« less
