ABSTRACTResults from numerical calculations with a recombination model involving one class of correlated dangling-bond states and exponential band tails, in a-Si:H, are reported. Fermi level, light intensity and temperature dependences of the μτ products are studied. The results are consistent with experimental data. It is found that photo-enhancement of (μτ)e, or superlinear photoconductivity, as well as thermal quenching, are associated with a capture cross section of the band tails smaller than the capture cross sections of the dangling-bond states.

The thermal neutron capture cross sections of Na23 and Mn55 have been determined using the activation method. The values are 0.53 ± 0.03 and 12.7 ± 0.3 barns respectively with respect to σAul97 = 93 barns. These agree well with recent pile oscillator results. The half-life for Mn56 is found to be 2.576 ± 0.002 hr.

Capture Cross Sections

The creation of the nucleus of a superheavy element follows an extremely complex reaction path starting with the crossing of an external potential barrier (or distribution of barriers). This is followed by the evolution towards an equilibrated compound nucleus, which takes place in competition with pre-compound-nucleus fission (quasi-fission). Once formed the equilibrated compound nucleus must still survive against true fusion to yield a relatively long-lived evaporation residue. Much of this path is poorly understood, though recently, progress has been made on the role of the entrance-channel in quasi-fission. This will be briefly reported and a method proposed to measure the total capture cross section for such systems directly.

Capture Cross Sections

A comparison method of measuring, by using solutions, the capture cross-sections for thermal neutrons is described. The chief advantages are directness, simplicity, and freedom from uncertainties as to direction of path, or as to the magnitude of the scattering effect. The method is best suited to nuclei of large cross-sections. Assuming the well checked value for the cadmium nucleus to be correct, the capture cross-sections of certain other nuclei were determined. The results for barium and for hydrogen differ widely from values previously published.

The neutron capture cross section of Sr89 has been measured by an activation method. Naturally occurring strontium was irradiated in different high flux positions in the NRX reactor at Chalk River and the amount of Sr90 formed by successive neutron capture in Sr88 was determined by separating and measuring its daughter Y90. Using values of 36.6 and 0.005 barns for the respective neutron capture cross sections of Co59 and Sr88, the capture cross section of Sr89 for reactor spectrum neutrons was found to be 0.49 ± 0.10 barn.

The deep levels ON1and ON2a/bintroduced by oxidation into 4H-SiC are characterized via standard DLTS and via filling pulse dependent DLTS measurements. Separation of the closely spaced ON2a/bdefect is achieved by using a higher resolution correlation function (Gaver-Stehfest 4) and apparent energy level, apparent electron capture cross section and filling pulse measurement derived capture cross sections are given.

AbstractBy chemical fixation of Kr in zeolite 5 A adequate samples can be obtained to determine the capture cross section of reactions such as 84 Kr (n, γ) 85Krm and 86Kr (n, γ) 87Kr. The employed zeolite loading was of the order 52-66 [cm3 STP Kr/g zeolite]. The capture cross section of the reaction 84Kr(n, γ) 85Krm was determined at thermal and 25 keV neutron energy. The value obtained at 25 keV is of relevance to the stellar nucleosynthesis of heavy elements.

Capture Cross Sections

A model for the description of proton collisions from molecules composed of atoms such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus (H, C, N, O, P) was recently extended to treat collisions with multiply charged ions with a focus on net ionization. Here we complement the work by focusing on net capture. The ion–atom collisions are computed using the two-center basis generator method. The atomic net capture cross sections are then used to assemble two models for ion–molecule collisions: An independent atom model (IAM) based on the Bragg additivity rule (labeled IAM-AR), and also the so-called pixel-counting method (IAM-PCM) which introduces dependence on the orientation of the molecule during impact. The IAM-PCM leads to significantly reduced capture cross sections relative to IAM-AR at low energies, since it takes into account the overlap of effective atomic cross sectional areas. We compare our results with available experimental and other theoretical data focusing on water vapor (H2O), methane (CH4) and uracil (C4H4N2O2). For the water molecule target we also provide results from a classical-trajectory Monte Carlo approach that includes dynamical screening effects on projectile and target. For small molecules dominated by a many-electron atom, such as carbon in methane or oxygen in water, we find a saturation phenomenon for higher projectile charges (q=3) and low energies, where the net capture cross section for the molecule is dominated by the net cross section for the many-electron atom, and the net capture cross section is not proportional to the total number of valence electrons.

Neutron capture cross sections of 232T/i have been measured relative to 197Au in the energy region from 30 keV to 600 keV. The neutron source was the reaction 7Li(p, n) produced on the 4 MV Van de Graaff Accelerator of the Centre d' Etudes Nucléaires de Bordeaux (CENBG). Preliminary analysis of the measurements indicates that the cross sections are closer to the JENDL database values.

Capture Cross Sections

Accurate neutron capture cross section data for minor actinides (MAs) are required to estimate the production and transmutation rates of MAs in light water reactors with a high burnup, critical fast reactors like Gen-IV systems and other innovative reactor systems such as accelerator driven systems (ADS). Capture reactions of 244Cm open the path for the formation of heavier Cm isotopes and of heavier elements such as Bk and Cf. In addition, 244Cm shares nearly 50% of the total actinide decay heat in irradiated reactor fuels with a high burnup, even after three years of cooling. Experimental data for this isotope are very scarce due to the difficulties of providing isotopically enriched samples and because the high intrinsic activity of the samples requires the use of neutron facilities with high instantaneous flux. The only two previous experimental data sets for this neutron capture cross section have been obtained in 1969 using a nuclear explosion and, more recently, at J-PARC in 2010. The neutron capture cross sections have been measured at n_TOF with the same samples that the previous experiments in J-PARC. The samples were measured at n_TOF Experimental Area 2 (EAR-2) with three C6D6 detectors and also in Experimental Area 1 (EAR-1) with the Total Absorption Calorimeter (TAC). Preliminary results assessing the quality and limitations of these new experimental datasets are presented for the experiments in both areas. Preliminary yields of both measurements will be compared with evaluated libraries for the first time.
