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 کاملMeasuring Reaction Probability Ratios to Simulate Neutron-Induced Cross-sections of Short-Lived Nuclei
Measuring the neutron-induced fission cross-sections of short-lived nuclei represents an experimental challenge due to target activity and the low intensity of neutron beams. One way to alleviate the problems inherent in the direct measurement is to use the surrogate method, where one measures the decay probability of the same compound nucleus formed using a charged beam and a stable target. Th...
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...
متن کاملNormalization of neutron-proton differential cross sections
The np differential cross section below 350 MeV neutron laboratory energy is studied using the energy-dependent Nijmegen partial-wave analysis PWA93. We analyze in detail three experiments, performed at LAMPF, at TRIUMF, and at the TSL facility in Uppsala. The issue of normalization of np cross sections is discussed, where we distinguish between measured and calculated normalizations. This anal...
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...
