Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Sections for n ＋ ^12 C Reaction Below 30 MeV

Based on the light nucleus reaction model （Nucl. Sci. Eng. 133 （1999） 218）, four aspects （neutron incident energy region, reaction channel analysis, the renewed level schemes and the optical model parameters） of n＋ ^12 C reaction are improved to calculate total outgoing neutron double-dilferential cross sections with modified LUNF code below 30 MeV. The calculated results agree fairly well with the experimental data at En = 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV. The analysis shows that the pre-equilibrium mechanism, which is exactly considered the conservation of energy, momentum and parity, dominates the whole reaction process. The contribution of the neutron emission from 5He to total energy- angular spectra is also considered properly. This modified LUNF code will be a useful tool to set up the file of neutron double-differential crass sections below 30 Me V in the neutron evaluation nuclear data library.     

The excitation functions of ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186m,g)Re reactions

A new value for the emission probability of 137.144 keV γ-rays from ~(186g)Re decay is recommended to be(9.47±0.03)/%.Using this value the measured cross sections for ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186m)Re and ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186g)Re reactions around 14 MeV are analyzed,and the cross section for ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186+g)Re reaction at 14.8 MeV is(2213±116)mb.The UNF code was adopted to calculate the cross sections for the ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186+g)Re reaction below 20 MeV,fitting to the value(2213±116) mb at 14.8 MeV using a set of optimum neutron optical potential parameters which were obtained based on the relevant experimental data of rhenium.The isomeric cross section ratio for the~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186,g)Re reaction was analyzed using the V-H method based on nuclear statistical theory.Combining these calculated results,the excitation functions for the ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186m)Re and ~(187)Re(n,2n)~(186g)Re reactions were obtained.The obtained results are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

Systematical law of (n, γ) reaction cross sections of even-even nuclei

We have derived a formula for the neutron radiative capture cross section in the framework of a statistical model approach to nuclear reactions. Based on this formula, new systematics are established between the (n, γ) reaction cross section and the energy level density of a compound nucleus or a relative neutron excess of an even-even target nucleus for neutron incident energy above the resonance region to MeV. Good agreement with experimental data suggests that this new systematical law is helpful to analyze the experimental data.

Measurements of differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the ~(10)B(n, α)~7Li reaction in the neutron energy range from 1.0 eV to 2.5 MeV

Differential and angle-integrated cross sections for the ~(10)B(n,α)~7 Li,~(10)B(n,α_0) ~7 Li and ~(10)B(n,α_1) ~7 Li~*reactions have been measured at CSNS Back-n white neutron source.Two enriched(90%) ~(10)B samples 5.0 cm in diameter and～85.0 μg/cm~2 in thickness each with an aluminum backing were prepared,and back-to-back mounted at the sample holder.The charged particles were detected using the silicon-detector array of the Light-charged Particle Detector Array(LPDA) system.The neutron energy En was determined by TOF(time-of-flight) method,and the valid a events were extracted from the E_n-Amplitude two-dimensional spectrum.With 15 silicon detectors,the differential cross sections of a-particles were measured from 19.2°to 160.8°.Fitted with the Legendre polynomial series,the(n,a) cross sections were obtained through integration.The absolute cross sections were normalized using the standard cross sections of the ~(10)B(n,α) ~7 Li reaction in the 0.3-0.5 MeV neutron energy region.The measurement neutron energy range for the ~(10)B(n,α) ~7 Li reaction is 1.0 eV≤E_n 2.5 Me V(67 energy points),and that for the ~(10)B(n,α_0) ~7 Li and~(10)B(n,α_1) ~7 Li~*reactions is 1.0 eV≤E_n1.0 MeV(59 energy points).The present results have been analyzed by the resonance reaction mechanism and the level structure of the ~(11)B compound system,and compared with existing measurements and evaluations.     

用直接中子法测量（n, 2n）反应截面的实验方法研究

在中国原子能科学研究院HI-13 串列加速器上的非常规多探测器快中子飞行时间谱仪上,采用直接中子法测量了14.3 MeV 中子与169Tm作用的(n,2n) 反应截面。用蒙特卡罗方法模拟了次级中子的产生,以对实验数据进行中子注量率衰减、多次散射和有限几何修正,同时结合SUNF 方法得到的评价能谱,给出了(n,2n) 反应截面的实验测量结果。测量截面以中子弹性散射微分截面作为标准截面来归一,并用反冲质子望远镜测量n-p 反应的反冲质子,以监视中子注量率。用直接中子法测量得到的结果与评价数据进行了比较,讨论了采用这种方法测量(n,2n) 反应截面的可行性。(n,2n) reaction cross section from 169Tm at 14.3 MeV was measured with the direct emittedneutron coincidence detecting method, using abnormal fast neutron TOF spectrometer on the HI-13 Tandem Accelerator at CIAE. Monte-Carlo method was used to simulate the generation of secondary neutron and correct the experimental data considering neutron flux attenuation, multiple scattering and finite geometry correction. Combining with evaluated spectra given by SUNF program, the experimental measurement results of the (n,2n) reaction cross sections were given. Cross sections of measurements were normalized by using neutron elastic scattering differential cross section as a standard section, and a recoil proton telescope was used to measure recoiling proton from the n-p reaction to monitor neutron flux rate. After comparing the experimental results with evaluated data, the feasibility of the direct emitted-neutron coincidence detecting method is discussed.     

Calculation of the wide-angle neutron spectra from the ~9Be(d,xn) reaction in a thick beryllium target

The multi-layer computing model is developed to calculate wide-angle neutron spectra, in the range from0° to 180° with a 5° step, produced by bombarding a thick beryllium target with deuterons. The double-differential cross-sections(DDCSs) for the ~9 Be(d, xn) reaction are calculated using the TALYS-1.8 code. They are in agreement with the experimental data, and are much better than the PHITS-JQMD/GEM results at 15°, 30°, 45° and 60° neutron emission angles for deuteron energy of 10.0 MeV. In the TALYS-1.8 code, neutron contributions from direct reactions(break-up, stripping and knock-out reactions) are controlled by adjustable parameters, which describe the basic characteristics of typical direct reactions and control the relative intensity and the position of the ridgy hillock at the tail of DDCSs. It is found that the typical calculated wide-angle neutron spectra for different neutron emission angles and neutron angular distributions agree quite well with the experimental data for 13.5 MeV deuterons. The multi-layer computing model can reproduce the experimental data reasonably well by optimizing the adjustable parameters in the TALYS-1.8 code. Given the good agreement with the experimental data, the multi-layer computing model could provide better predictions of wide-angle neutron energy spectra, neutron angular distributions and neutron yields for the ~9 Be(d, xn) reaction neutron source.
