Cross-section measurements for (n, 2n) and (n, p) reactions on platinum isotopes in the neutron energy range of 13.5 to 14.6 MeV

Abstract

Abstract Cross-sections for (n,2n) and (n,p) reactions have been measured on platinum isotopes at the neutron energies of 13.5 to 14.6 MeV using the activation technique. Data are reported for the following reactions: 198Pt(n,2n)197m+gPt, 198Pt(n,2n)197mPt, 192Pt(n,2n) 191Pt, 190Pt(n,2n) 189Pt, 196Pt(n,2n)195mPt+195Pt(n,n ′)195mPt, 194Pt (n,p) 194Ir, 195Pt(n,p)195mIr and 196Pt(n,p)196mIr. The neutron fluences were determined using the monitor reaction 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb or 27Al(n,α) 24Na.
