Angular Distribution and Cross-Section Measurements for ~(64)Zn(n, α)~(61)Ni Reaction at 5.0, 5.7, and 6.5 MeV

摘要

Using a gridded ionization chamber, angular distributions for the ~(64)Zn(n, α)~(61)Ni reaction were measured at 5.0, 5.7, and 6.5 MeV. The neutrons were produced through the D(d, n)~3He reaction. The neutron flux was determined through the ~(238)U(n, f) reaction. The results show a backward peak in the center-of-mass reference system for 5.7 and 6.5 MeV. The cross sections are 72.5, 72.0, and 70.8 mb for 5.0, 5.7, and 6.5 MeV, respectively.
