Double Differential Cross Sections for (p,n) Reactions of 18 and 25 MeV Protons with Isotopes of Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Y, Zr, Mo, Pd and Tb

摘要

Cross sections for the inclusive production of neutrons from reactions of 25 MeV protons with sup 50 sup 52 sup 53 Cr, sup 54 sup 56 sup 58 Fe, sup 59 Co, sup 60 Ni, sup 63 Cu, sup 89 Y, sup 90 sup 91 sup 92 sup 94 Zr, sup 92 sup 94 sup 95 sup 96 sup 97 sup 98 sup 100 Mo, sup 110 Pd and sup 159 Tb and of 18 MeV protons with sup 90 sup 91 sup 92 sup 94 Zr have been measured with time-of-flight techniques for 16 angles between 3.5 exp 0 less than or equal to theta/sub lab/ less than or equal to 159.0 exp 0 . After a short presentation of the motivations for these measurements, the experimental set up is discussed with emphasis on the systematic and statistical error sources pertinent to this work, in particular the question of background correction in the continuous parts of the spectra. The main purpose of this report is to make the experimental results of this work (angle integrated spectra, angular distributions) available for distribution, reducing thereby the data required in publication of the results of these experiments. 20 references.
