Reaction Cross Sections

In order to determine the cross section of a reaction by the angular distribution method, it is essential to calculate the angular distributions of all secondary transitions that lead to the ground state. This is achieved by analysing spectra from HPGe detectors at various detection angles, which is a time consuming process. In this work, a simpler angle integration method is presented that allows to determine cross sections of capture reactions by measuring spectra at fewer detection angles.

The 241Am(n,2n)240Am reaction cross section has been measured at neutron beam energy 17.5 MeV, relative to the 27Al(n,α)24Na, 197Au(n,2n)196Au and 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb reference reaction cross sections, using the activation technique. The irradiation was carried out at the Van der Graaff 5.5 MV Tandem accelerator laboratory of NCSR “Demokritos” with monoenergetic neutron beam provided by means of the 3H(d,n)4He reaction, implementing a new Ti-tritiated target. The high purity Am target has been constructed at IRMM, Geel, Belgium and consisted of 40 mg 241Am in the form of AmO2 pressed into pellet with Al2O3 and encapsulated into Al container. Due to this high radioactivity (5 GBq), the Am target was enclosed in a Pb container for safety reasons. After the end of the irradiation, the activity induced by the neutron beam at the target and reference foils, was measured off-line by two 100%, a 50% and a 16% relative efficiency, HPGe detectors.

Reaction Cross Sections

A Bendix time of flight mass spectrometer has been modified to enable the determination of some ion-molecule reaction cross sections in the energy range 1 — 100 eV.In the reactions studiedX+ + D2 → XD++Dwhere X may be Ar, N2 or CO, the results obtained agree with the predictions of the polarization theory in the range below 10 eV despite the fact that no intermediate complex is formed at these energies. Between about 10—50 eV where spectator stripping occurs the cross section follows an approximate E-l dependence. Above these energies the results are consistent with a transition to a region in which knock-on processes predominate and where an impulse approximation treatment would be valid.

In this letter, the necessity of a more precise estimation of the data on the reaction π-p → f2(1270)n → π0π0n is mentioned. The total cross-section σ(π-p → f2(1270)n) obtained from the data on the reaction π-p → π0π0n is shown to be approximately three times smaller than that following from the π-p → π+π-n data and also four times smaller than the prediction of the one-pion-exchange model. It is very important to resolve this disagreement because the results on the reaction π-p → f2(1270)n → π0π0n are used directly for the normalization of other reaction cross-sections and determination of branching ratios for some resonances.

Fission cross section of 239Pu can be seen as a sum of the “immediate" fission and “two-step" (n,γf) reactions. In the Resolved Resonance Range of the reaction cross sections, the contribution of the (n,γf) process has an impact on the determination of the partial widths magnitude involved in the Reich-Moore approximation of the R-matrix theory. The present work aims to investigate this impact by using the CONRAD code and the partial width Γγf for the (n,γf) reaction calculated by Lynn et al. [1]. A special attention will be paid to the covariance matrix obtained on νp.

Cross sections of the 174Hf(n,2n)173Hf and 176Hf(n,2n)175Hf reactions have been experimentally determined relative to the 27Al(n,α)24Na reference reaction at incident neutron energies of 15.3 and 17.1 MeV by means of the activation technique. The irradiations were carried out at the 5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR "Demokritos" with monoenergetic neutron beams provided via the 3H(d,n)4He reaction, using a new Ti-tritiated target of 373 GBq activity. In the determination of the 176Hf(n,2n)175Hf reaction cross section the contamination of the 174Hf(n,γ)175Hf and 177Hf(n,3n)175Hf reactions has been taken into account. Moreover, the neutron beam energy has been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation codes and the neutron flux has been determined via the 27Al(n,α)24Na reference reaction.

Reaction Cross Sections

The stacked foil activation technique and Ge(Li) γ-ray spectroscopy have been employed for the determination of the excitation functions, up to 60 MeV, of six reactions, 69Ga(α,n), (α,2n), (α,3n), (α,p3n); 71Ga(α,n) and (α,4n). Since natural gallium used as the target has two odd-mass stable isotopes of abundance, 69Ga(60.1%) and 71Ga(39.9%), their activation in some cases gives the same residual nucleus through different reaction channels, but with very different Q values. In such cases, the individual reaction cross sections are separated with the help of the ratio of their theoretical cross sections. A preliminary theoretical comparison with the preequilibrium geometry-dependent hybrid (GDH) model has been done using an initial exciton number no = 4 (2n + 2p + 0h), and general agreement was found for all reactions at high energies.

Based on the new accurate potential energy surface of the ground state of LiH2 system. Quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) calculations were carried out for the reaction LiH + H . The reaction probability of the title reaction for J = 0 has been calculated. The reaction cross sections were calculated as functions of the collision energy in the range 0.1–2.5 eV. The results were found to be well consistent with the previous real wave packet (RWP) and QCT results.
