NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS FOR NITROGEN AND OXYGEN,

Abstract

Neutron cross sections for nitrogen and oxygen that are of primary interest in shielding and transport calculations are compiled in this report. Cross sections for the following processes are compiled for both oxygen and nitrogen: total, elastic scattering, nonelastic collisions, inelastic scattering, differential elastic scattering, (n, alpha) reactions, (n,p) reaction, and (n,d) reaction. The following cross sections are compiled for nitrogen only: gamma-ray production, (n,t) reaction, (n,2n) reaction, and (n,2 alpha) reaction. Cross sec tions of nitrogen for excitation of the various levels of the residual nucleus in the (n, alpha j), and (n,n'j) reactions are also compiled.thor)
