Title: Monoenergetic photon-induced fission cross-section ratio measurements for ${}^{235}U$ , ${}^{238}U$ , and ${}^{239}{Pu}$ from 9.0 to 17.0 MeV

Abstract

High-accuracy data are needed to advance microscopic descriptions of the nuclear fission process, to improve the predictive precision of phenomenological models, and for applications in nuclear energy and homeland security. Purpose: In this work, the main goal is to provide high-accuracy cross-section data for photofission of ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, and ²³⁹Pu in the energy range from the fission threshold to the high-energy tail of the giant dipole resonance. These new data should contribute significantly to the reduction of the systematic uncertainty in evaluated photofission cross-section databases. Method: Cross-section ratios for photofission of the “big three” actinide nuclei were measured using a quasimonoenergetic photon beam and dual-fission chambers. The measurements were performed at the HIγS facility using a photon beam produced from Compton backscattering of free-electron laser light. The dual-fission chamber enabled simultaneous counting of fission events from two targets. This method allows for cross-section ratio measurements with very small systematic errors. The largest source of systematic error in the determination of the cross-section ratios is the uncertainty in the ratio of the target thicknesses. Results: We report photon-induced fission cross-section ratios for σ[²³⁵U(γ,f) / ²³⁸U(γ,f)] , σ[235U(γ,f) / ²³⁹Pu(γ,f)] , and σ[²³⁸U(γ,f) / ²³⁹Pu(γ,f)] at photon energies from 9.0–17.0 MeV.

More than 20 data points were measured for each ratio, and the systematic uncertainties are less than 2%. Conclusion: The present photofission cross-section ratio data sets are compared to ratios computed from previous measurements, to the corresponding neutron-induced fission cross-section ratios, and to ratios computed from evaluated databases. Finally, the data obtained in this work for σ[235U(γ,f) / 238U(γ,f)] are consistent with the existing data, while for σ[235U(γ,f) / 239Pu(γ,f)] and σ[238U(γ,f) / 239Pu(γ,f)] the present data are systematically lower.},

Erratum: Monoenergetic photon-induced fission cross-section ratio measurements for ${}^{235}U$ , ${}^{238}U$ , and ${}^{239}{Pu}$ from 9.0 to 17.0 MeV

Journal Article Finch, S. W. ; Krishichayan, . ; Howell, C. R. ; ... - Physical Review. C

In this erratum we report a correction to the previously published photofission cross-section ratio data. The actinide fission-chamber foils utilized in this work were extensively characterized during a new campaign using α- and γ-ray spectroscopy, and 2π alpha counting. These three techniques agreed, resulting in an improved accuracy of the fission-chamber foil masses used in the original experiment. The foil masses measured by α spectroscopy are detailed in Table I. All foils were counted on the same α spectrometer, using an identical geometry, which reduces the systematic uncertainty in the calculated mass ratios since the α spectrometer efficiency cancels outmore »« less

Journal Article Hughes, R. O. ; Beausang, C. W. ; Ross, T. J. ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

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

Measurement of the normalized ${}^{238}U (n, f) / {}^{235}U (n, f)$ cross section ratio from threshold to 30 MeV with the NIFFTE fission Time Projection Chamber

Journal Article Casperson, R. J. ; Asner, D. M. ; Baker, J. ; ... - Physical Review C

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

Near-barrier photofission in ${}^{232}{Th}$ and ${}^{238}U$

Journal Article Silano, J. A. ; Karwowski, H. J. - Physical Review C

A study of photofission of Th-232 and U-238 was performed by using quasimonoenergetic, linearly polarized γ-ray beams from the High Intensity γ-ray Source at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. The prompt-photofission neutron polarization asymmetries, neutron multiplicities, and the photofission cross sections were measured in the near-barrier energy range of 4.3 to 6.0 MeV. This data set constitutes the lowest energy measurements of those observables to date using quasimonoenergetic photons. Large polarization asymmetries are observed in both nuclei, consistent with the E1 excitation as observed by another measurement of this kind made in a higher-energy range.
