Measurements of neutron-induced fission cross-sections of Tl-205, Pb-204,Pb-206,Pb-207,Pb-208 and Bi-209 with a multi-section Frisch-gridded ionization chamber

摘要

Neutron-induced fission cross-sections of Tl-205, Pb-204,Pb-206,Pb-207,Pb-208 and Bi-209 have been measured in the energy range from 30 to 180 MeV. The measurements were performed with quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams using a multi-section Frisch-gridded ionization chamber. The neutron-induced fission cross-sections of U-238 were used as reference data. The experimental techniques are described in detail as well as the data processing. The results are compared with existing experimental data. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
