Abstract: | The cross sections for the 118Sn (n, α)115Cd, 120Sn (n, α)117gCd and 120Sn (n, α)117mCd reactions have been measured in the neutron energy range of 13.5–14.6 MeV using the activation technique and a coaxial
HPGe γ-ray detector. The fast neutrons were produced by the T (d, n) 4He reaction. The neutron energies in the measurements were determined by cross section ratios for 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb and 90Zr(n, 2n)89m+gZr reactions. The results of present work were discussed and compared with theoretical calculation data, measurement results
found in the literature and with the comprehensive evaluation data in ENDF/B-VII.0, CENDL-3.1, JENDL-4.0 libraries. |
