Book Description
Differential cross sections for the neutron-induced gamma-ray production from oxygen were measured for incident neutron energies between 6.5 and 20.0 MeV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) was used to provide the neutrons and a NaI spectrometer to detect the gamma rays at 125°. The data presented are the double differential cross section, d2sigma/d.cap omega.dE, for gamma-ray energies between 1.6 and 10.6 MeV for coarse intervals in incident neutron energy. The integrated yield for gamma rays of energies greater than 1.6 MeV with higher resolution in the neutron energy is also presented. The experimental results are compared with the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF). 34 references.
