Determining neutron-capture cross sections via the surrogate reaction technique
Indirect methods play an important role in the determination of nuclear reaction cross sections that are hard to measure directly. In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using the so-called surrogate method to extract neutron-capture cross sections for low energy compound-nuclear reactions in spherical and near-spherical nuclei. We present the surrogate method and develop a statistical...
متن کاملNeutron Capture Cross Sections of Cadmium Isotopes
The neutron capture cross sections of 106 Cd, 108 Cd, 110 Cd, 112 Cd, 114 Cd and 116 Cd were determined in the present project. Four different OSU TRIGA reactor facilities were used to produce redundancy in the results and to measure the thermal cross section and resonance integral separately. When the present values were compared with previously measured values, the differences were mostly due...
متن کاملSolar Abundance of Elements from Neutron-capture Cross Sections
Introduction: Light elements, H and He, covering the solar surface are widely believed to be dominant inside the Sun [1]. Noting that gaseous envelopes may not reflect the Sun’s internal composition, Harkins [2] used analyses on 443 meteorites to conclude that Fe, O, Ni and Si are more abundant. B2FH [3] explained element synthesis in stars; decades later Fowler said laboratory and theoretical ...
متن کاملNeutron capture cross sections: from theory to experiments and back
The method for an experimental determination of the stellar enhancement factor for the cross section of the 151Sm(n,γ) reaction process is proposed. This study offered the pretext for an excursus on the interconnections between capture and dissociation reactions and the interplay between theory and experiments in the determination of neutron capture cross sections.
متن کاملSurrogate ratio methodology for the indirect determination of neutron capture cross sections
The relative γ -decay probabilities of the 162Dy to 161Dy and 162Dy to 164Dy residual nuclei, produced using light-ion-induced direct reactions, were measured as a function of excitation energy using the CACTUS array at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory. The external surrogate ratio method (SRM) was used to convert these relative γ -decay probabilities into the 161Dy(n,γ ) cross section in an equiv...
