Precise measurement of the integral cross section for the reaction 24Mg( n, p) 24Na between 13.5 and 18.0 MeV

Activation technique has been used to measure the cross-section ratio for 24Mg( n, p) 24Na and 27Al( n, a) 24Na reactions, the last being a reference one. The reaction T( d, n) 4 He was used to produce the neutrons. Countings of γ-spectra were performed with a 75 × 75-mm NaI (T1) detector. The new c...

Summary:Activation technique has been used to measure the cross-section ratio for 24Mg( n, p) 24Na and 27Al( n, a) 24Na reactions, the last being a reference one. The reaction T( d, n) 4 He was used to produce the neutrons. Countings of γ-spectra were performed with a 75 × 75-mm NaI (T1) detector. The new cross-section values for 24Mg were calculated based on the best values of the 27Al-reaction cross-sections for respective neutron energies. In general, the obtained total error is 1.5–2 times smaller than previously.
