High resolution measurement of neutron inelastic scattering and () cross-sections for 52Cr

A measurement of cross sections for 208Pb from threshold up to 20 MeV

“…In turn, the Hlavac measurement was normalized to the gamma production cross section of the 1434 keV transition in the 52 Cr(n, n γ ) 52 Cr reaction. The latter reaction was also studied by some of the present authors with the same methodology and similar equipment [11] as is described here. In Refs.…”

“…This measurement is part of a campaign in which the 206 Pb, 207 Pb and 209 Bi isotopes were investigated as well [12,13]. The measurement of all three lead isotopes under the same conditions allowed for a self-consistent correction of the isotopic composition of the samples.…”

(n, xn) cross sections on56,57Fe

“…Then, due to the specific shape (rounded edges), we estimated that the real mass irradiated by neutrons is larger by 3(1)%. This resulted in an effective areal density of the sample of 0.542(5) g/cm 2 . Several precautions and small adaptations of the acquisition system had to be applied in order to deal with the issue of the 14-keV transition in 57 Fe.…”

“…Therefore the program of measuring neutron inelastic cross section for structural materials of importance for the development of the fourth generation of nuclear reactors currently ongoing at the Geel Linear Accelerator (GELINA) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] facility of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (EC-JRC) from Geel, Belgium included several experiments on iron isotopes. The results of two such measurements on the major isotope 56 Fe were published recently [7] while the data gathered during a recent experiment investigating the neutron inelastic scattering on 57 Fe are currently under analysis and the results should become available soon.…”

Proton inelastic scattering cross section measurements on16O and28Si

“…The cosine functions of the two angles mention above are the nodes of the 4 th order Legendre polynomials (for details of the integration procedure see Refs. [21][22][23]). After obtaining the differential cross sections corresponding to each γ transition for the 110…”
