Cross-sections for (n,2n), and (n,α) reactions on ~(55)Mn isotope around neutron energy of 14 MeV

摘要

Cross sections for (n,2n) and (n,α) reactions on the Manganese isotope have been measured at the . neutron energies of 14.1 and 14.7 MeV using activation method with the monitor reaction ~(27)Al(n, α)~(24)Na. This measurement was carried out by y-detection using a coaxial HPGe detector. High-purity natural Manganese powder (99.9%) was used to produce the samples. The fast neutrons were produced by T(d, n)~4He reaction. The results obtained are compared with the previous data.
