Certain nuclides have a high neutron capture cross section, which is the probability of absor a neutron. Upon neutron capture, the compound nucleus emits more easily detectable radiation, for example an alpha particle, which is then detected. The nuclides 3 He, 6 Li, 10 B, 233 U, 235 U, 237 Np, and 239 Pu are useful for this purpose.

the rare earths which have high neutron cross section. The data were analysed to determine the nuclear absorption and the nuclear scattering cross sections.

The thermal neutron scattering cross-section of a solid depends on the energy (or wavelength) of the incident neutrons.

After studying this module, you should be able to: i) List the various reactions that a neutron can undergo during its lifetime. ii)Define the microscopic reaction cross-section (including the unit used). iii)Define the macroscopiccross-section(and its unit). iv) Defme the neutronOux and its use in determining the reactionrate perunit volume.

11/19 · Alternative methods to calculate neutron capture cross sections on radioactive nuclei are reported using the theory of inclusive non-elastic breakup (INEB) developed by Hussein and McVoy (Nucl. Phys. A. 445, p. 124, 1985). The statistical coupled-channels theory proposed in Bertulani et al. (Eur. Phys. J. Web Conf. 69, 00020, ) is further extended in the realm of

In most cases, the absorption cross section, \ (\sigma_ {\rm a}\), of thermal neutrons is inversely proportional to the neutron velocity. In other words, the absorption is proportional to the

Specifically, a suitable epithermal neutron flux (ϕEpi) of about 1×109 (n.cm−2.s−1) for BNCT and high quality thermal neutron flux (ϕTh) of above 1×106 (n.cm−2.s−1)for NR are carried

This group published the first edition of the well-known reference book BNL-325 (Neutron Cross Sections) in 1955. The group's name was changed to the Sigma Center in 1961, then to the National Neutron Cross Section Center in 1967 and finally to the NNDC in 1977, when it was given the additional responsibility for nuclear structure and decay data.

Neutron Capture Cross-section The radiative capture cross-section represents the likelihood of a neutron radiative capture as σγ . As usual, the cross-section can be divided into three regions according to the incident neutron energy. 1/v Region Resonance Region Fast Neutrons Region 1/v Region

The neutron cross-section is variable and depends on: Target nucleus(hydrogen, boron, uranium, etc.). Each isotop has its own set of cross-sections. Type of the reaction(capture, fission, etc.). Cross-sections are different for each nuclear reaction. Neutron energy(thermal neutron, resonance neutron, fast neutron).

A P/sub 3/, 218 neutron group cross-section library in the AMPX master interface format has been generated from ENDF/B-IV data for 65 nuclides of primary interest in criticality safety calculations. The library was generated with the AMPX modular code system. Procedures used to generate the cross sections and the organization of the library are

1/v Region. In the common case, the cross section is usually much larger at low energies than at high energies. For thermal neutrons (in 1/v region), also radiative capture cross-sections increase as the velocity (kinetic energy) of the neutron decreases. Therefore the 1/v Law can be used to determine shift in capture cross-section, if the neutron is in equilibrium with a surrounding medium.

The measurement of a neutron cross section can be simplified if it is measured relative to a neutron cross section standard.
