“…The neutron energy spectrum was calculated for every sample by taking into account the real geometry of each irradiation, the reaction cross-section evaluation of Drosg [21], and the stopping power evaluation of Anderson and Ziegler [19]. Real beam and target characteristics were also accounted for [15]. Variations in the neutron flux during irradiation were registered by two independent scintillation detectors.…”

“…In our work, we used the experimental values of the 93 Nb(n, 2n) 92 Nb m cross section obtained in Ref. [11] relative to the same standard, because those data show a smoother behavior of the cross section curve. Differences between the 93 Nb(n, 2n) 92 Nb m cross sections of Ref.…”

“…Here, a comparison between the local approach and the global approach is a comparison between the modified geometrydependent hybrid model and the two-component exciton model. Since multistep processes are very important also at intermediate energies, e.g., for the prediction of cross sections needed for development of accelerator-driven systems [8,9], the improvement of both experimental and theoretical PE knowledge in the range [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] MeV is of certain interest.…”

Reaction mechanisms of fast neutrons on stable Mo isotopes below 21 MeV

A large number of new measurements with the activation technique were performed for (n,2n) and neutron-induced Z = 1,2 reaction cross sections on the stable molybdenum isotopes in the energy range from 13.5 to 21 MeV. First results were obtained for the 92 Mo(n,2n) Mo(n,x) 97 Nb m , and 100 Mo(n,α) 97 Zr reactions, above 16 MeV. A significant number of high-accuracy 14 MeV measurements were performed which are in good agreement with the measurements above 16 MeV for reactions studied in both energy ranges. The rather complete database for the molybdenum isotopes was analyzed with two different sets of consistent model calculations: a local and a global approach. The global approach (a blind calculation with the TALYS code) provides a good overall description of the dominant reaction channels, although the (n,α) reactions for the heavy isotopes are overpredicted. The local approach (an adjusted calculation with the STAPRE-H code) describes the shapes and magnitudes of the excitation functions well from the reaction thresholds up to 21 MeV using a consistent parameter set, which was optimized based on all experimental information for the nuclei at hand and their immediate neighbors. The agreement between experimental and calculated data is, in general, good both at the maxima and at the tails of the excitation functions, and both for total activation cross sections of a particular channel and for cross sections leading to isomers, showing the viability of the level densities, the optical models, and the γ widths. Comparison of the two model calculations with the data indicates the relevance of an appropriate treatment for preequilibrium (PE) α-particle emission for the description of the data above 14 MeV. Comparison between the model calculations shows largely different PE deuteron emission contributions to the total ( Z = 1, A = 1) cross sections with an additional marked difference in energy dependence. This suggests that emission spectra around 20 MeV are required to establish the magnitude of the PE deuteron emission contribution to this process. New γ -ray strength functions were established by verification against average (n,γ ) data and were demonstrated to give good agreement with the measured isomer production cross sections.
