Study of internal structures of 9,10Be and 10B in scattering of 4He from 9Be
2013
A study of inelastic scattering and single-particle transfer reactions was performed by an alpha beam at 63 MeV on a 9$Be target. Angular distributions of the differential cross sections for the 9Be(4He,4He')9Be*, 9Be(4He,3He)10Be and 9Be(4He,t)10B reactions were measured. Experimental angular distributions of the differential cross sections for the ground state and a few low-lying states were analyzed in the framework of the optical model, coupled channels and distorted-wave Born approximation. An analysis of the obtained spectroscopic factors was performed.
Neutron capture cross sections for neutron-rich isotopes
1985
Average continuum (Hauser-Feshbach) and resonance (Breit-Wigner) neutron capture rates for neutron-rich isotopes, determined on the basis of recent experimental nuclear physics input parameters, are compared to earlier theoretical reaction rates commonly used in astrophysical model computations.
Determination of ion-induced K-shell ionization cross sections by comparison with nuclear Coulomb excitation
1979
Abstract A new method for the determination of cross sections for K-shell ionization of heavy atoms by charged particles is proposed. The method is based on a comparison of photon lines due to K X-rays and low-energy γ-rays, the latter ones being produced in nuclear Coulomb excitation with accurately known cross sections. This procedure applies within a limited energy range to the study of targets comprising deformed even nuclei, but can also be extended to other targets having Z≳30. A test of the new technique has been carried out for Gd, W, Th and U natural targets irradiated by 4.75 MeV protons. For Th, also energies of 6.80–10.10 MeV were used. The results are briefly discussed with ref…
Exposure of -alanine and -ammonium tartrate ESR dosimeters to thermal neutrons: Experiments and Monte Carlo simulations
2008
Abstract Electron spin resonance solid state dosimetry with alanine and ammonium tartrate pellets is a valuable tool in both medical and industrial applications when dealing with photon and charged particle beams. Its use in neutron beams is limited by the low nuclear cross section values of atoms in the pellets. Addition of boron (10B) or gadolinium ( Gd 2 O 3 ) , known to have high neutron capture cross sections, has been proposed to improve neutron sensitivity. In this paper we present the results of an experimental study concerning neutron sensitivity vs. gadolinium concentration in dosimeter mixtures, with the aim of optimizing mixture composition and maximizing the electron spin resol…
Differential cross section for the reaction 2H(γ, p)n from 133 to 158 MeV
1991
The cross section for the reaction 2H(γ, p)n has been measured at laboratory photon energies Eγ = 133−158 MeV and c.m. angles between 30° and 150°. The reaction was induced by a tagged bremsstrahlung photon beam incident on a liquid deuterium target. The uncertainty in the absolute cross sections is ⩽ 5%. There is now reasonable agreement between recent measurements in this energy region and the overall data set now defines the cross section sufficiently well to provide a test of current models of the reaction.
