(n, 2n) Cross Section ofNa23at 14.1 Mev

Abstract: An experimental determination of this cross section was made on six individual samples and involved the use of 47r counting, low background counting, neutron monitoring, and sample thickness corrections. The value obtained is 13.8±2.2 millibarns and the error quoted is twice the standard deviation obtained from the six samples. The experimental work is described in detail and a discussion of the possible errors is given.

“…For this rea. ction Prestwood [1955] has found a threshold energy of 12.8 Mev and a cross section of 13.8 mb for 14- Mev neutrons from the (d, t) fusion reaction. The necessary high-energy neutrons are supplied by funsion bombs, whereas the RODEL (n, 2n) reaction induced by fission neutrons can probably be neglected.…”
