Abstract. The neutron capture cross sections and capture gamma-ray spectra of Sn ( 116−119 Sn) and Gd ( 155−158 Gd) isotopes have been measured in the incident neutron energy region from 10 to 100 keV and at 550 keV. Pulsed keV neutrons were produced by the 7 Li(p,n) 7 Be reaction. Capture gamma rays were detected with a large anti-Compton NaI(Tl) spectrometer by means of a time-of-flight method. A pulse-height weighting technique was applied to the observed capture gamma-ray pulse-height spectra to obtain capture yields. Using the standard capture cross sections of 197 Au, the capture cross sections of the Sn and Gd isotopes were derived. The capture gamma-ray spectra were obtained by unfolding the observed capture gamma-ray pulse-height spectra. The present cross section results were compared with other experimental data and evaluated values.
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.
