THE NUCLEAR PROPERTIES OF RHENIUM
Abstract
The nuclear reactions Re-185 (n,p) W-185, Re-187 (n,p) W-187, Re-185 (n,alpha) Ta-182, Re-187 (n,alpha) Ta-184, Re-185 (n,2n) Re-184 and Re-187 (n,2n) Re-186 wih 14 Mev neutrons are discussed theoretically. It appears that the (n,alpha) reactions are not possible. The (n,p) reactions are possible but not very probable. The (n,2n) reactions have the largest cross sections of any of these reactions. The Re-187 (n,2n) Re-186 reactions cross section was calculated to be 2.3 barns compared to a preliminary experimental value of 2.49 ! 50% barns. (Author)
