AbstractThe 50Cr(n,2n)49Cr, 52Cr(n,2n)51Cr, 52Cr(n,p)52V, 55Mn(n,2n)54Mn, 55Mn(n,α)52V and 55Mn(n,γ)56Mn reaction cross sections at the neutron energy of 14.54 ± 0.24 MeV were measured by using activation method along with off-line γ-ray spectrometry. The 27Al(n,p)27Mg monitor reaction was used for the 52Cr(n,p)52V and 55Mn(n,α)52V reactions, whereas the 197Au(n,γ)198Au monitor reaction for the 55Mn(n,γ)56Mn reaction. The 27Al(n,α)24Na monitor reaction was used for other three reactions. The neutron beam was generated from the T(d,n)4He reaction using the Purnima neutron generator at BARC, Mumbai. The covariance analysis for the uncertainties of reaction cross sections was performed by considering the correlations between different attributes. The present results were compared with the literature data, evaluated data of ENDF, ROSFOND, CENDL, JENDL and JEFF libraries as well as with the theoretical values based on TALYS-1.9 calculation.

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.

Systematic experimental and theoretical investigations of the 72,73Ge(n,p)72,73 Ga and 72,74Ge(n,α)69,71Znm reaction cross sections are presented in the energy range from thresh- old to about 17 MeV neutron energy. The above reaction cross sections were measured from 8.8 to 11.4 MeV by using the activation method, relative to the 27Al(n,α)24Na refer- ence reaction. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction at the 5 MV VdG Tandem T11/25 accelerator of NCSR “Demokritos”. Statisti- cal model calculations using the code EMPIRE-II (version 2.19) taking into consideration pre-equilibrium emission were performed on the data measured in this work as well as on data reported in literature.
