neutron cross section

The reaction has a high–thermal-neutron cross section (∼3800 b) and exhibits a simple-energy dependence over a wide neutron-energy range, from the thermal energy to ∼30 keV. The

Fast neutron generators driven by isochronous cyclotron U-120M developed at Nuclear Physics Institute were used for neutron cross-section 

During the Manhattan Project, physicists needed to predict the probability of a free neutron striking the nucleus of a fissionable substance, forcing the nucleus to undergo fission. The area within which fission would be expected to occur, is defined to be the "fission cross-section." Fission is not the only potential interaction between

250 keV for the (n, a) reaction cross section was in good agreement with the bulk of recent measurements(G)2(8), the values of 8.83 b for the elastic scattering cross section and of 11.78 b for the total cross section were slightly higher than the experimental ones, i. e., 7.2k0.4 b by Lane et d.@) and 11.20+0.20 b by Smith et al.

The neutron cross section σ can be defined as the area in cm2 for which the number of nuclei–neutron reactions taking place is equal to the product of the

Data is presented only for total (i.e., integrated) reaction cross sections (and related fission parameters) as a function of incident-neutron energy. The energy range has been limited to 0.01 eV to 200 MeV in order to exclude crystalline and magnetic effects for slow neutrons and relativistic effects for high energy neutrons.

Plutonium239group-averaged total, elastic, inelastic, fission and capture cross sections. Neutron cross sections data are normally expressed in units of barns, where: 1[barn] = 10 [ ]-24 2cm They are tabulated and plotted as a function of the kinetic energy of the neutrons in electron volts [eV] or million electron volts [MeV].

The National Neutron Cross Section Center (NNCSC) concerns itself with neutron physics information of a basic and applied nature. Computerized files of bibliography to the neutron physics literature, and of experimental and evaluated neutron data are maintained. The NNCSC coordinates a national effort, the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group

A P/sub 3/, 218 neutron group cross-section library in the AMPX master interface format has been generated from ENDF/B-IV data for 65 nuclides of primary interest in criticality safety calculations. The library was generated with the AMPX modular code system. Procedures used to generate the cross sections and the organization of the library are

Certain nuclides have a high neutron capture cross section, which is the probability of absor a neutron. Upon neutron capture, the compound nucleus emits more easily detectable radiation, for example an alpha particle, which is then detected. The nuclides 3 He, 6 Li, 10 B, 233 U, 235 U, 237 Np, and 239 Pu are useful for this purpose.

the rare earths which have high neutron cross section. The data were analysed to determine the nuclear absorption and the nuclear scattering cross sections.

Neutron Capture Cross-section The radiative capture cross-section represents the likelihood of a neutron radiative capture as σγ . As usual, the cross-section can be divided into three regions according to the incident neutron energy. 1/v Region Resonance Region Fast Neutrons Region 1/v Region

The ratio of the thermal-neutron capture cross-sections of boron and hydrogen was found to be 2317 ± 27. The cross-section of hydrogen calculated from this
