The measured cross-sections of the ^(150)Nd(n,2n)^(149)Nd,^(148)Nd(n,2n)^(147)Nd, and ^(142)Nd(n,2 n)^(141)Nd reactions were 1854 ± 81, 1789 ± 119, and 1559 ± 98 mb, respectively, at a neutron energy of 14.2 ± 0.2 MeV,and 1485 ± 74, 1726 ± 85, and 1670 ± 119 mb, respectively, at 14.9 ± 0.2 MeV. The results were compared with the experimental values from the reported literature, with the evaluated data from the ENDF/B-VII.1, CENDL-3.1, and JENDL-4.0 libraries, and with the curves calculated by the Talys-1.8 code.展开更多
The cross sections of Ni(n, x)^58(m+g)CO, Ni(n, x)^60mCO, Ni(n, x)^61Co and Ni(n, x)^62mCO reactions induced by neutrons around 14 MeV were measured in this work and calculated by a previously developed for...The cross sections of Ni(n, x)^58(m+g)CO, Ni(n, x)^60mCO, Ni(n, x)^61Co and Ni(n, x)^62mCO reactions induced by neutrons around 14 MeV were measured in this work and calculated by a previously developed formula in this work. The neutron flux was determined using the monitor reaction 27Al(n, α)24Na and the neutron energies were measured with the method of cross-section ratios for ^90Zr(n, 2n)^89Zr to ^93Nb(n, 2n)^92mNb reactions.展开更多
