Total Neutron Cross Section for Uranium from 20 kev to 20 Mev

Measurements of the neutron - proton and neutron - carbon total cross section from 150 to 800 keV

Neutron cross-sections and kerma values for carbon, nitrogen and oxygen from 20 to 50 MeV.

The advent of high energy neutron radiotherapy will require the neutron cross-section data and kerma factors for elements of biomedical importance to be extended up to and possibly above 50 MeV. Nuclear model calculations have been employed to produce a set of neutron cross-sections for C, N and O from 20 to 50 MeV. The strategy employed involves the optical model fitting of experimental total ...

Neutron-induced fission cross section of 240Pu from 0.5 MeV to 3 MeV

240Pu has recently been pointed out by a sensitivity study of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to be one of the isotopes whose fission cross section lacks accuracy to meet the upcoming needs for the future generation of nuclear power plants (GEN-IV). In the High Priority Request List (HPRL) of the OECD, it is suggested that the knowled...

Proceedings of a Specialists' Meeting on Neutron Cross Section Standards for the Energy Region above 20 Mev

The present status of neutron-proton scattering in the energy range from 20-70 MeV is reviewed. The data base covers total cross sections, differential cross sections and polarization observables. The efforts after 1980 did largely cnncentrate on precision measurements of the differential cross sections and accurate vector analyzing powers, using polarized neutron beams. Because of correlations...

The Spectrum of GRB 930131 ( “ Superbowl Burst ” ) from 20 keV to 200 MeV

We have constructed a broad-band spectrum for GRB 930131 (the “Superbowl Burst”), ranging from 20 keV to 200 MeV, by combining spectral information from the Gamma Ray Observatory’s BATSE, COMPTEL and EGRET instruments. We present general methods for combining spectra from different time intervals obtained by the same instrument as well as for combining spectra from the same time interval taken ...
