Title: ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,2n)¹⁶⁸Tm and ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n)¹⁶⁷Tm cross-section measurements from 15 to 21 MeV

Abstract

The ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,2n)¹⁶⁸Tm and ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n)¹⁶⁷Tm cross sections have been measured in the neutron energy range between 15 and 21 MeV using the ³H(d,n) ⁴He neutron source reaction. The ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n) ¹⁶⁷Tm data are intended to provide an accurate database for interpreting so-called reaction-in-flight neutron yields, which provide a sensitive tool for studying properties of the deuterium-tritium plasma created in inertial confinement fusion laser shots at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The data are compared to previous data and evaluations for the reaction studied and are found to be in good agreement with the ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluation, although small adjustments are necessary for the ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n) ¹⁶⁷Tm reaction. Here, for the first time in any (n,2n) cross-section measurements to date, a comprehensive data set ranging from threshold to 21 MeV has been obtained by the same group.

Measurement of the ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n) ¹⁶⁷Tm cross section and the associated branching ratios in the decay of ¹⁶⁷Tm [Measurement of the ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n) ¹⁶⁷Tm cross section and the branching ratios in the decay of ¹⁶⁷Tm]

Journal Article Champine, B. ; Gooden, M. E. ; Krishichayan, . ; ... - Physical Review C

The cross section for the ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,3n)¹⁶⁷Tm reaction was measured from 17 to 22 MeV using quasimonoenergetic neutrons produced by the ²H(d,n)³He reaction. This energy range was studied to resolve the discrepancy between previous (n,3n) cross-section measurements. In addition, the absolute γ-ray branching ratios following the electron-capture decay of ¹⁶⁷Tm were measured. Furthermore, these results provide more reliable nuclear data for an important diagnostic that is used at the National Ignition Facility to estimate the yield of reaction-in-flight neutrons produced via the inertial-confinement-fusion plasma in deuterium-tritium capsules.

Measurements of the ${}^{169}{Tm} (n, 2 n) {}^{168}{Tm}$ cross section from threshold to 15 MeV

Journal Article Soter, J. ; Bhike, M. ; Finch, S. W. ; ... - Physical Review C

Measurements of the ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,2n)¹⁶⁸Tm cross section have been performed via the activation technique at 13 energies between 8.5 and 15.0 MeV. The purpose of this comprehensive data set is to provide an alternative diagnostic tool for obtaining subtle information on the neutron energy distribution produced in inertial confinement deuterium-tritium fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In conclusion, the ¹⁶⁹Tm(n,2n)¹⁶⁸Tm reaction not only provides the primary 14-MeV neutron fluence, but also the important down-scattered neutron fluence, the latter providing information on the density achieved in the deuterium-tritium plasma during a laser shot.

Journal Article Gooden, M. E. ; Bredeweg, T. A. ; Champine, B. ; ... - Physical Review C

At the National Ignition Facility, experiments are being performed to measure charged-particle stopping powers in the previously unexplored warm dense plasma regime. These measurements are done using reaction-in-flight (RIF) neutrons from an inertial confinement fusion system. RIF neutrons are produced with a continuum of energies up to 30 MeV. By making activation measurements utilizing threshold reactions for neutrons in the energy range of 15 < E n < 30 MeV , the number of RIF neutrons can be determined and from this the stopping power of the deuterium and tritium ions that produced the RIF neutrons can be inferred.

Analysis of n+/sup 165/Ho and /sup 169/Tm reactions

Technical Report Young, P G ; Arthur, E D ; Philis, C ; ...

Experimental data for neutron-induced reactions on /sup 165/Ho and /sup 169/Tm have been theoretically analyzed in preparation for calculations on the unstable isotopes of Tm. A set of deformed optical model parameters was determined from measurements of s- and p-wave neutron strength functions, total cross sections, elastic angular distributions, and 16-MeV proton scattering to the /sup 165/Ho ground and first excited states. The parameters for the /sup 165/Ho and /sup 169/Tm nuclei were linked by means of an isospin term in the real and imaginary well depths, together with adjustment of the ..beta../sub 2/ and ..beta../sub 4/ deformation parameters basedmore »« less

Excitation functions for evaporation residues from the /sup 37/Cl+/sup 169/Tm fusion reaction

Journal Article Schier, W ; Chervenak, J ; DiRienzo, A C ; ... - Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

Zero-degree excitation functions of evaporation residues formed primarily by neutron boiloff from the /sup 206/Rn compound nucleus in the /sup 37/Cl+/sup 169/Tm fusion reaction were measured from 148.5 to 186 MeV beam energy. The evaporation residues were identified by their alpha-decay energies. Cross sections associated with 2n, 3n, 4n, 3n1p, 5n, and 4n1p emission peak at 155, 157, 165, 168, 177, and 182 MeV, respectively. 3n1..cap alpha.. emission was also observed and shows hints of forward-backward asymmetry. A maximum total evaporation residue cross section of 1.6 +- 0.5 mb was observed at 165 MeV. A comparison of these results tomore »« less
