^natCu and ^natV cross-sections measured by quasi-monoenergetic neutrons from p+⁷Li reaction in the energy range of 18–34 MeV

Abstract

Abstract. nat Cu and nat V samples were irradiated several times with quasi-monoenergetic neutrons from the p+ 7 Li reaction in the energy range of 18-35 MeV. The activities of the samples were measured with the HPGe detector and the reaction rates were calculated. Time-of-flight measurements of the produced neutron spectra and the measurements of the residual 7 Be activity in the Li target were performed to improve the knowledge of the neutron spectra. The cross-sections were extracted using the SAND-II procedure with the reference cross-sections from the EAF-2010 database. The uncertainties of the final results are discussed.

“…The Department of Nuclear Reactions of the NPI has long-term expertise in this type of the measurements. The measurement of the neutron cross-sections above 20 MeV relevant on the elements important for fusion and accelerator driven facilities have been performed and already published [3][4][5][6][7].…”
