Neutron radiative capture cross-sections for even isotopes of neodymium in the energy range from 0.5 to 2.2. MeV

摘要

The neutron radiative capture cross-sections for the stable isotopes (sup 146,148,150)Nd were measured by the activation method as a function of neutron energy between 0.5 and 2.2 MeV. Enriched samples were irradiated with neutrons from the (sup 3)H(p,n)(sup 3)He reaction using a Van de Graaff accelerator. The measurements were made with respect to the (sup 197)Au(n,(gamma))(sup 198)Au and (sup 115)In(n,n')(sup 115)In(sup m) reactions. (author). 8 refs, 4 figs, 3 tabs. (Atomindex citation 27:020868)
