Re reactions were performed in the energy range 13.08-19.5 MeV. We applied the neutron activation technique using several wide-energy neutron beams (NAXSUN), recently developed at the JRC-IRMM. This method involves measuring the activity of the radionuclides produced in a target by the in energy overlapping neutron beams and a subsequent unfolding procedure. The present results are the first experimental data on these cross-sections for incident neutron energies between 15 and 19.5 MeV and may contribute to improving evaluations and nuclear models.

“…, whereas BSS, depending on its features (size, neutron detection based on 6 Li, 3 He or activation foils) can measure neutron fluxes between ∼10 −2 and ∼10 4 n s −1 cm −2 [47]. Due to the limited rate affordable with scintillating bolometers (a few 10 Hz at most), foreseen applications are restricted for radioprotection topics, such as measurement of the residual fast neutron component after shieldings of the thermal component in accelerators or reactors installations.…”

Abstract.The technique for measuring neutron activation cross-sections using wide energy neutron beams (NAXSUN) was recently developed at JRC-Geel . This method is based on the detection of the gamma activity induced by the activation of the samples in different but overlapping neutron fields and following an unfolding procedure. In the present work, measurements of the cross-section functions by the NAXSUN technique for the (n,a), (n,2n), (n,p) and (n,3n) reactions on rhenium isotopes 185 Re and 187 Re were performed. The results are the first experimental data for the mentioned reaction cross-sections in the energy range 13.0-19.5 MeV. The obtained data are of interest for possible applications of Re in nuclear technology and medicine.
