The 67 Zn(n,p) 67 Cu, 64 Zn(n,2n) 63 Zn, 89 Y(n,γ) 90m Y and 89 Y(n,2n) 88 Y reaction cross sections relative to the 197 Au(n,2n) 196 Au monitor reaction have been determined at the neutron energy of 14.54 ± 0.002 MeV by using the method of activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The neutron energy used was obtained from the 3 H(d,n) 4 He reaction. The covariance analysis was performed by taking the uncertainties arising in various attributes and the correlations between those attributes. The analyzed results from the present measurement were compared with the literature data and evaluated data of various libraries like ENDF/B-VIII, JEFF-3.3, JENDL-4.0 and ROSFOND-2010 libraries as well as with the calculated values based on TALYS-1.9 code.

The cross sections for the 93 Nb(n,2n) 92m Nb, 93 Nb(n,α) 90m Y and the 92 Mo(n,p) 92m Nb reactions have been measured with respect to the 197 Au(n,2n) 196 Au monitor reaction at the incident neutron energy of 14.78 ± 0.19 MeV by employing methods of activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The covariance analysis was carried out by taking into consideration of partial uncertainties in different attributes and correlation among the attributes. The present data have been compared with the literature data available in EXFOR, evaluated data of different libraries and theoretical values based on TALYS-1.8 code.
