Partial Photoneutron Cross Sections for the Isomeric StateTam180

Abstract: Photoneutron cross sections for (181)Ta(y, n) (180)Ta(m) were determined from simultaneous measurements of total cross sections (sigma(tot) and ground-state cross sections (sigma(gs)) for (180)Ta in photodisintegration of with laser Compton-backscattered rays. Techniques of direct neutron counting and photoactivation were used for the measurement of sigma(tot) and sigma(gs), respectively. The partial cross sections for the isomeric state serves as a novel probe of the nuclear level density of (180)Ta. Implicat… Show more

“…Photodisintegration cross sections for 181 Ta were measured by using quasimonochromatic γ -ray beams from laser-Compton scattering at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. Whereas these experimental data for 181 Ta(γ,n) 180 Ta and 181 Ta(γ,n) 180m Ta constrained the production rate of 180m Ta, the uncertainty of the photodisintegration rate from below the neutron-separation energy still remains [9,10].…”

“…The origin of 180m Ta, which is the rarest nuclide in the solar system, has been widely discussed over the past 40 years [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Difficulties in understanding the creation of 180m Ta arise from the various possible elemental production mechanisms, such as the slow (s) or rapid (r) neutron capture processes as well as the γ and ν processes.…”

“…Here, we just mention that the global use of TALYS is divided roughly in two: (a) as a nuclear physics tool for the analysis of experiments and for associated academical and fundamental physics (e.g., astrophysics [2]) purposes; (b) as a nuclear data tool to generate complete sets of data, in e.g., ENDF-6 format, for technological applications such as conventional and innovative power reactors (GEN-IV), accelerator applications and transmutation of radioactive waste, fusion reactors, homeland security, medical isotope production and radiotherapy, and oil-well logging.…”

“…Above the (γ, n) threshold σ γ has been measured by detecting neutrons following photoabsorption [16]. Apparently, the absorption cross section closely above the threshold for neutron emission is small and accurate data are difficult to obtain for these energies [17].…”
