Abstract

Cross sections for (n, p) and (n, 2n) reactions have been measured on some rare-earth isotopes at neutron energies of 13.5-14.6 MeV using activation technique. Data are reported for the following reactions:150Nd(n, 2n) 149Nd, 148Nd(n, 2n) 147Nd, 142Nd(n, 2n) 141Nd, 160Gd(n, 2n) 159Gd, 158Gd(n, p) 158Eu, 146Nd(n, p) 146Pr, 141Pr(n, p) 141Ce and 139La(n, p) 139Ba. The neutron fluences are determined by the cross sections of 27Al(n, a) 24Na and 93Nb(n, 2n) 92mNb reactions.
