Abstract:
Measurements of cross sections of the (95)Mo(n, alpha)(92)Zr reaction at E(n)=4.0, 5.0 and 6.0MeV were carried out at the 4.5MV Van de Graaff of Peking University, China. A twin gridded ionization chamber and two large-area (95)Mo samples were adopted. Fast neutrons were produced through the D(d, n)(3)He reaction by using a deuterium gas target. A small (238)U fission chamber was employed for absolute neutron flux determination. Present data are compared with existing evaluations and measurement.
