The half-life of Ni63 has been found by a specific activity determination to be 125 ± 6 years. The number of atoms of Ni63 was determined mass spectrometrically and the disintegration rate by 4πβ-counting. The cross section for the reaction Ni62(n, γ)Ni63 has been found to be 21 ± 2 barns, in good agreement with that found by Pomerance.

There are 35 proton-rich isotopes between 74Se and 196Hg that cannot be synthesized through neutron captures and β− decays (s- and r-processes). A third process is therefore required for the production of these nuclei, the so-called p-process. The abundance and the origin of the p-nuclei are still not fully understood even though significant experimental and theoretical efforts in astrophysical modeling have been expended in the last two decades. The experimental studies with the activation method to measure cross sections of the relevant reactions have some limitations: the reaction product must be radioactive, should have an appropriate half-life, and its decay should be followed by proper γ-radiations. If the cross section cannot be calculated with the radiation followed by the first beta decay of the product, it can be measured using the second beta decay as an alternative method. In this study, the method and candidate reactions for the cross-section measurements via the second beta decay of the reaction product using the activation method are discussed.

Calculations have been made of the cross-section for ionization of the inner shells of atoms by electron impact in the cases of the K-shells of nickel, silver, mercury and of the three L-shells of silver and mercury.The agreement with experiment is reasonably good for the K-shell ionization, but only fair in the case of the rather meagre experimental data available for the L-shell. The values obtained for the relative ionization in the K- and L-shells are in good agreement with those to be expected from experiment.

The cross section for electron capture by Kr+ ions from rare gas atoms between 30 and 120 keV is found to be in good agreement with previous measurements where these exist, except for neon. The Rapp–Francis model gives an acceptable fit to the energy dependence of these and higher energy data but is too large by a factor of about five. In contrast the Landau–Zener model predictions are too large for helium and neon and too small for the heavier targets unless metastable states of krypton with large polarizabilities dominate the cross section.

Studies on the cross-sections of (n,n[Formula: see text]) reactions which are energetically possible, about 14 MeV neutrons are quite scarce. In this paper, the cross-sections of (n,n[Formula: see text] nuclear reactions at [Formula: see text]14–15 MeV are analyzed by using a new empirical formula based on the statistical theory. We show that neutron cross-sections are closely related to the [Formula: see text]-value of nuclear reaction, in particular for (n,n[Formula: see text]) channels. Results obtained with this empirical formula show good agreement with the available measured cross-section values. We hope that the estimations on the cross-sections using the present formalism may be helpful in future studies in this field.

<sub></sub> In this paper we present our calculation of the cross section ionization by electron impact of C V, N VI and O VII. Using the Flexible Atomic Code (FAC), we obtain the cross sections for the ionization of these ions from the ground state 1<sup>1</sup>S, and from the unstable states 2<sup>1</sup>S and 2<sup>3</sup>S. Our results are in good agreement with those based on the Coulomb Born (CB) approximation and the available measurements.

The cross sections of Ge isotopes were measured with the activation method at 14.8 MeV neutron energy. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams were produced via the 3H(d,n)4He reaction at the 150 kV J-25 neutron generator of INST, AERE. The characteristics γ-lines of the product nuclei were measured with a closed end coaxial 17.5 cm2 high purity germanium (HPGe) detector gamma ray spectroscopy. The cross sections were determined with reference to the known 27Al(n,α)24Na reaction. Cross section data are presented for 72Ge(n,p)72Ga, 74Ge(n,α)71mZn and 76Ge(n,2n)75m+gGe reactions. The cross section values obtained for the above reactions were 24.78±1.75 mb, 1.69±0.11 mb and 860±50 mb, respectively. The results obtained were compared with the values reported in literature as well as theoretical calculation performed by the statistical code SINCROS-II. The experimental data were found fairly in good agreement with the calculated and literature data.  Keywords: Activation cross section; Neutron induced reaction; Gamma-ray spectroscopy; 14.8 MeV. © 2009 JSR Publications.

The reaction Ni58(γ, n)Ni57 has been investigated between 12- and 24-Mev maximum photon energy. The absolute yield value at 22 Mev was found to be much lower than reported previously. Also, a shorter half-life of Ni57 was obtained. The cross section was determined using two different methods.

Photoionization cross sections for the outer shell of the nitrogen atom ground state are calculated in the single-particle Hartree–Fock approximation and, in order to take into account many-electron correlations, also in the Random Phase Approximation with Exchange (RPAE). To be able to apply the RPAE, its modification for the half-filled shell atom, such as nitrogen atom, is presented. Calculation of length and velocity forms of the cross section in both approximations are compared with the available experimental data, and a good agreement is obtained. It has been found that in the RPAE the influence of many-electron correlations in a nitrogen atom is not great, but it is very important since, in contrast to the Hartree–Fock approximation, it results in the validity of the sum rule and the coincidence of the length and velocity forms of the cross sections, in agreement with the requirement of the general theory. The angular distribution of photoelectrons is also calculated in the RPAE, which has not been measured so far.

A characteristic rise in the cross section near x = 1 has been reported for the single particle inclusive reaction π−p → π−X at Fermilab energies. Factorizable Regge amplitudes are used with a well-established analysis of the pp → pX peak to construct a parametrization of the triple-Regge couplings with αP(0) > 1 and to give a triple-Regge description of the meson + proton → meson + X cross section. Good agreement with the π−p → π−X data at 147 GeV/c is obtained and the peak is dominated by the triple-Pomeron component. This approach provides a reliable method for obtaining an estimate of the non-diffractive component. The inelastic diffractive cross section rises with energy and is found to account for most of the observed rise in σtot(π±p). The procedure is extended to K±p → K±X.
