“…Similar to the approach by Mather et al, Frehaut et al [15] used a large gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator to determine the 238 U(n,2n) 237 U cross section. In recent years, Naik and his group [23][24][25][26] used the activation technique for the cross-section measurements at E n = 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 14.8, and 15.5 MeV. Our present data are in good agreement with the values reported by Knight et al [6] and Raics [16].…”

Determination of neutron capture cross sections of 232 Th at 14.1 MeV and 14.8 MeV using the neutron activation method

“…It can be seen from Table 2, our measured results are in good agreement with the literature data [19] but much lower than [20]. For purpose of comparison, the…”
