Title: ⁵⁴Fe neutron elastic and inelastic scattering differential cross sections from 2–6 MeV

Abstract

Measurements of neutron elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections from ⁵⁴Fe were performed for nine incident neutron energies between 2 and 6 MeV. Measured differential scattering cross sections are compared to those from previous measurements and the ENDF, JENDL, and JEFF data evaluations. TALYS calculations were performed and modifications of the default parameters are found to better describe the experimental cross sections. A spherical optical model treatment is generally adequate to describe the cross sections in this energy region; however, in ⁵⁴Fe the direct coupling is found to increase suddenly above 4 MeV and requires an increase in the DWBA deformation parameter by approximately 25%. Furthermore, this has little effect on the elastic scattering differential cross sections but makes a significant improvement in both the strength and shape of the inelastic scattering angular distribution, which are found to be very sensitive to the size and extent of the surface absorption region.

Neutron scattering cross section measurements for ${}^{56}{Fe}$

Journal Article Ramirez, A. P. D. ; Vanhoy, J. R. ; Hicks, S. F. ; ... - Physical Review C

Elastic and inelastic differential cross sections for neutron scattering from ⁵⁶Fe have been measured for several incident energies from 1.30 to 7.96 MeV at the University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory. Scattered neutrons were detected using a C₆D₆ liquid scintillation detector using pulse-shape discrimination and time-of-flight techniques. The deduced cross sections have been compared with previously reported data, predictions from evaluation databases ENDF, JENDL, and JEFF, and theoretical calculations performed using different optical model potentials using the TALYS and EMPIRE nuclear reaction codes. The coupled-channel calculations based on the vibrational and soft-rotor models are found to describe the experimental (n,n₀) andmore » (n,n₁) cross sections well.« less

Neutron elastic and inelastic cross section measurements on silicon from 0.8--8 MeV

Journal Article Ramirez, A. P.D. ; Peters, E. E. ; Mukhopadhyay, S. ; ... - Nuclear Physics. A

Neutron elastic and inelastic scattering differential cross sections were measured at angles between 30° and 155° with incident neutron energies between 0.8 and 8 MeV. The measured differential scattering cross sections are compared to existing measurements and the ENDF/B-VIII.0, the JEFF-3.3, and the JENDL-4.0 data evaluations, as well as theoretical calculations from the TALYS-1.95 nuclear reaction code. Our results are reasonably well described by values from the ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF-3.3 compilations. However, below 4 MeV, our backward-angle elastic scattering results tend to be lower than database/calculated values, suggesting that less recoil damage would occur than expected. Above 6 MeV, largermore »« less

Resonances in inelastic scattering of protons by /sup 54/Fe and /sup 56/Fe in the 6-MeV region

Journal Article Andronov, Y F ; Chubinskii, O V ; Vinogradov, L I - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

Experimental data are reported on the energy and angular dependence of the spin-flip probability and the differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic (2/sup +//sub 1/) scattering of protons with energy in the vicinity of 6 MeV by /sup 54/Fe and /sup 56/Fe. The energy and angular dependences of the statistical components S/sub s/ and s/sub s/ have been calculated in terms of Hauser-Feshbach theory with inclusion of the coupling of doorway states with states of the statistical ensemble of the compound nucleus. Analysis of the coherent components is carried out with the programs ''optical model+resonance'' (elastic scattering) and ''DWBA+resonance''more »« less

As a continuation of the work on determining the neutron scattering cross sections of /sup 54/Fe at 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 MeV, the neutron scattering cross sections at 5.0 +- 0.14, 6.0 +- 0.12, and 7.0 +- 0.10 MeV were measured. For this the differential neutron scattering cross sections of /sup 54/Fe were measured on the EG-5 electrostatic accelerator with the help of a fast-neutron time-of-flight spectrometer: elastic, inelastic with excitation of the first 2+ level (E/sub level/ = 1.408 MeV), and the total inelastic with excitation of the second 4+ level (E/sub level/ = 2.538 MeV) and themore »« less

Neutron elastic and inelastic scattering studies on /sup 54/Fe, /sup 56/Fe, /sup 63/Cu and /sup 65/Cu

Thesis/Dissertation El-Kadi, S M

Neutron differential elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections have been obtained for an incident neutron energy range between 8 and 14 MeV /sup 54/Fe, /sup 56/Fe, /sup 63/Cu and /sup 65/Cu. These measurements provide cross section data for nuclear fusion reaction design. Elastic scattering cross sections have been analyzed using a spherical optical model to obtain global parameters than can predict necessary neutron elastic scattering cross sections in the mass and energy ranges of the present work. The global parameters have been used to calculate the volume integral and the rms radius of the central real potential. The matter radiimore »« less
