Some excitation functions of neutron-induced reactions around 14 MeV

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

Excitation functions of some (n, p), (n, 2n) and (n,α) reactions usually employed as standard monitors have been measured by activation in the range (13.70 ÷ 14.67) MeV neutron energy with an energy spread of ≈ 50 keV. The results have been compared with the best fits obtained for the same reactions from the known data in the range (12.8 ÷ 15.5) MeV. A good agreement has generally been found. Fluctuations about the mean values have been observed.

Riassunto

Sono state misurate, col metodo dell’attivazione, le sezioni d’urto di alcune reazioni (n, p), (n, 2n) ed (n, α), normalmente usate come reazioni di riferimento, nell’intervallo di energia (13.70 ÷ 14.67) MeV con risoluzione di ≈ 50 keV. I risultati sono generalmente in buon accordo con i best fit ottenuti dai dati della letteratura nell’intervallo (12.8 ÷ 15.5) MeV. Sono state osservate anche fluttuazioni, non correlabili tra loro.
