Activation cross sections for 13.6 MeV neutron induced reactions on natural tin

Cross sections of the  ¹¹²Sn(n,x)¹¹¹In,  ¹¹⁴Sn(n,2n)¹¹³Sn,  ^natSn(n,x)^117mSn and  ¹²⁴Sn(n,2n)^123gSn reactions have been measured by using the activation technique at 13.6 MeV neutron energy. The neutrons were produced via the  ³H(d,n)⁴He reaction. The present experimental data illustrated satisfactory agreement with most of the available literature data. Experimental data are compared with the corresponding evaluated nuclear data from the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-4.0/HE, BROND-3.1, CENDL-3.2 and JEFF-3.3 libraries, and the agreement are generally acceptable. Besides, different nuclear level density models have been used for the estimation of the desired excitation functions with TALYS-1.95 code.
