Abstract

Cross sections were measured for the first time in the 5.4- to 10.6-MeV energy range for the 90Zr(n,p)90mY, 91 Zr(n,p)91mY, 92Zr(n,p)92Y, 90Zr(n,α)87mSr, 94Zr(n,α)91Sr, and 96Zr(n,2n)95Zr reactions. The quasi-monoenergetic neutrons were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction using a deuterium gas target at a variable energy compact cyclotron. Use was made of the activation technique in combination with high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. Some trends in the excitation functions are discussed.
