PILE NEUTRON CAPTURE CROSS SECTION OF 33 HR. Ce143
Keyword(s):
Ce144 has been produced by the successive neutron capture reaction Ce142 (n, γ)Ce143(n, γ)Ce144. The pile neutron capture cross section of the 33 hr. Ce143 was determined by separating Pr144, the daughter of Ce144, from the rigorously-purified cerium at frequent intervals. The amount of Pr144 formed increased linearly with the square of the neutron flux in a manner consistent with that of a successive neutron capture reaction. The value for the pile neutron capture cross section of Ce143 was found to be 6.0 ± 0.7 barns.
