Thermal Neutron Capture Cross Section Measurements of ~(99)Tc at the Budapest PGAA-NIPS Facility

摘要

Several ~(99)Tc(n,γ) ~(100)Tc experiments have been performed to determine absolute thermal neutron capture cross section of the ~(99)Tc isotope at the Budapest PGAA-NIPS Facility. In order to reduce uncertainties on the inferred total thermal-neutron capture cross section, ~(99)Tc(d,p) and ~(99)Tc(n,γγ) experiments have also been performed. Analysis of these experiments may lead better precision of the inferred cross section. Status of this work is presented.
