The 92 Mo(n,α) 89 Zr, 97 Mo(n,p) 97 Nb, 148 Nd(n,2n) 147 Nd and 146 Nd(n,p) 146 Pr reaction cross sections with the neutron of energy of 14.54 ± 0.24 MeV have been measured by using the method of activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The neutron was generated from the D-T reaction at the PURNIMA neutron generator of BARC. The 197 Au(n,2n) 196 Au monitor reaction was used for the estimation of neutron flux. The covariance analysis for the uncertainties of the cross sections has been carried out by considering the partial uncertainties of different attributes. The present data have been compared with the literature data, evaluated data and theoretically calculated values from TALYS-1.9 code.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
