Revised Cross Sections for Neutron Interactions with Oxygen and Deuterium - Topical Report


Book Description

A revision of the data for angular distributions for elastic neuton scattering in oxygen and deuterium is presented. The kinetics of the (n,2n) reaction in deuterium is discussed and a Monte Carlo scheme for generating the energy and direction of secondary neutrons is given. Complete sets of the cross sections for both materials are tabulated.

Neutron Cross Sections for Titanium, Potassium, Magnesium, Nitrogen, Aluminum, Silicon, Sodium, Oxygen, and Manganese


Book Description

A set of neutron cross sections for Ti, K, Mg, and N were prepared for neutrons energies from 0.0253 ev to 18 Mev. A revision of some of the neutron cross sections for Al, Si, Na, and O given in NDA 2111-3, Vol. C, Nov. 1, 1959 and NDA 2133-4, Jan. 31, 1961 was made based on experimental results which appeared in the literature since the publication of these reports. In addition, some typographical errors in the tabulation (n, n) cross sections for Mn in NDA 2133-4 are corrected. The results of Hauser-Feshbach calculations of reactions of O-16 are reported.

Neutron Generators for Analytical Purposes


Book Description

This publication addresses recent developments in neutron generator (NG) technology. It presents information on compact instruments with high neutron yield to be used for neutron activation analysis (NAA) and prompt gamma neutron activation analysis in combination with high count rate spectrometers. Traditional NGs have been shown to be effective for applications including borehole logging, homeland security, nuclear medicine and the on-line analysis of aluminium, coal and cement. Pulsed fast thermal neutron analysis, as well as tagged and timed neutron analysis, are additional techniques which can be applied using NG. Furthermore, NG can effectively be used for elemental analysis and is also effective for analysis of hidden materials by neutron radiography. Useful guidelines for developing NG based research laboratories are also provided in this publication.
