The 162 Er(n, 2n) 161 Er reaction cross section (E th = 9.26 MeV) was measured at six incident neutron beam energies by means of the activation technique. Two energy regions were covered in the present work: the nearthreshold energies between 10.7 and 11.3 MeV, as well as the higher energies from 17.1 up to 19.0 MeV. In this way, the energy range from the reaction threshold up to 19 MeV was experimentally mapped, considering also the existing experimental information around 14 MeV. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam at near-threshold energies was produced via the 2 H(d, n) 3 He reaction, while the higher neutron beam energies were achieved by using the 3 H(d, n) 4 He reaction. The primary deuteron beam was delivered in both cases by the 5.5 MV Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator of NSCR "Demokritos." Statistical model calculations were performed and compared with all the available experimental data.

“…A second reason for carrying out the present work originates from the fact that the existing experimental information is limited to neutron beam energies around 14 MeV [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…The irradiations were carried out at the 5.5 MV Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at NCSR "Demokritos". The neutron beam was produced via the 2 H(d,n) 3 He reaction (Q=3.27 MeV) by bombarding the D 2 gas target with deuteron beam currents typically kept between 0.3 -2.0 µA. The samples sandwich was placed at 0º with respect to the neutron beam at a distance of 7 cm from the centre of the gas shell.…”

“…Thus, the experimental study of (n,x) reactions for this isotope is challenging. For this reason, the existing (n,2n) reaction cross section experimental information is limited to just a few data-points at energies around 14 MeV with discrepancies up to ~30% [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Unfortunately, there is no experimental information at energies close to the reaction threshold neither to higher energies where other competitive reaction channels (e.g.…”
