Abstract. γ-ray production cross sections of inelastic neutron scattering have been measured for molybdenum using the (n,n'γ)-technique. The experiment was performed at the GELINA facility at the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) with the Gamma Array for Inelastic Neutron Scattering (GAINS) setup. GAINS consisted of eight high purity germanium detectors at the time of this experiment. The sample was made of natural molybdenum, which includes seven isotopes (A = 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 100). The presence of so many isotopes in the sample leads to overlapping peaks in the spectra, which limits the amount of data that can be extracted from the analysis. Nevertheless, a total of 31 γ rays from the seven isotopes were analysed and γ-ray production cross sections were determined. Comparisons to other experimental results were made when such data was available. Also comparisons with model calculations were made with the Talys 1.6 code.

“…Therefore the program of measuring neutron inelastic cross section for structural materials of importance for the development of the fourth generation of nuclear reactors currently ongoing at the Geel Linear Accelerator (GELINA) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] facility of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (EC-JRC) from Geel, Belgium included several experiments on iron isotopes. The results of two such measurements on the major isotope 56 Fe were published recently [7] while the data gathered during a recent experiment investigating the neutron inelastic scattering on 57 Fe are currently under analysis and the results should become available soon.…”

“…Lithium and beryllium fluorides are also interesting as coolants for Molten Salt Reactor Systems, as described in the Technology Roadmap for Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems [3]. Additionally, in deuteriumtritium fusion reactors the fuel cycle requires breeding of tritium from 6,7 Li. The interactions between neutrons and lithium affect the tritium breeding ratio, nuclear heating, and radiation damage.…”

Abstract. The γ -ray production cross section for the 477.6-keV transition in 7 Li following inelastic neutron scattering has been measured from the reaction threshold up to 18 MeV. This cross section is interesting as a possible standard for other inelastic scattering measurements. The experiment was conducted at the Geel Electron LINear Accelerator (GELINA) pulsed white neutron source with the Gamma Array for Inelastic Neutron Scattering (GAINS) spectrometer. Previous measurements of this cross section are reviewed and compared with our results. Recently, this cross section has also been calculated using the continuum discretized coupled-channels (CDCC) method. Experiments for studying neutrinoless double-β decay (2β0ν) or other very rare processes require greatly reducing the background radiation level (both intrinsic and external). Copper is a common shielding and structural material, used extensively in experiments such as COBRA, CUORE, EXO, GERDA, and MAJORANA. Understanding the background contribution arising from neutron interactions in Cu is important when searching for very weak experimental signals. Neutron inelastic scattering on nat Cu was investigated with GAINS. The results are compared with previous experimental data and evaluated nuclear data libraries.
