Neutrons Partial Cross Section Studies

Abstract

The (n,2n) excitation functions are given for Zn-64, Br-79, Ag-107, Sb-121, and Pr-141. Evidence is presented for a 7+ isomeric state in Y-90 at 0.685 Mev. Zr-90 (n,p)Y-90m and nb-93(n,a) Y-90m cross sections for 14.7-Mev neutrons are reported to be 12 + or - 4 mb and 5 + or - mb, respectively. The experimental cross section results were not in significant disagreement with the statistical model theoretical results, although in general, the experimental values are somewhat smaller than the theory predicts.
