Abstract

The 110Cd(n,γ)111mCd and 111Cd(n,n′)111mCd reaction cross-sections at the neutron energies of 1.12, 2.12, 3.12 and 4.12 MeV were determined for the first time by using activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique. The values from preset work and literature data at other neutron energies are compared with the theoretical values based on TALYS 1.6 and found to be in agreement. The formation cross-section of 111mCd from the (n,γ) and (n,n′) reaction of natCd is important for neutron economy and estimation of dose of the Cd control rod use in the reactor.
