Abstract
Activation techniques have been used to measure the neutron cross sections for 27Al(n,p)27Mg, 58Ni(n,2n)57Ni, 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb, 93Nb(n, alpha )90mY and 197Au(n,2n)196mAu at a neutron energy of 14.2+or-0.1 MeV. The absolute cross sections were measured using the associated-particle technique to determine the neutron flux from the 3H(d,n)4He reaction and a Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectrometer to determine the activity of the neutron-irradiated samples. These experimental cross sections are compared with theoretical calculations based on the statistical model with corrections for pre-equilibrium and direct-reaction effects.Keywords
