Activation cross sections for some isotopes of Ti and Mo with 14.7 MeV neutrons

Abstract

The (n,p) and (n,2n) reaction cross sections on natural Ti and Mo targets have been measured for E. = 14.73-+0.05 MeV neutrons using the activation technique. The induced gamma-ray activities of the irradiated samples and their monitor foils were measured by using an HPGe detector. The cross sections were compared with previous results. The experimental uncertainties are between 3% and 8% in most cases.

The systematics of (n, α) reaction cross-sections at 14.5 MeV neutron energy

“…A large number of empirical and semi-empirical formulae with different parameters for cross-section calculation of the reactions like (n, p), (n, =) and (n, 2n) at the different neutron energies have been proposed by several authors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Many of the nuclides produced in the reactor have short half lives, so they are unstable and it is not possible to measure their cross-sections directly.…”
