Abstract:
Neutron induced reactions play a vital role in the field of nuclear and particle physics. An effort was made to study the neutron-induced reaction cross-section of 115In(n,γ)116mIn with 197Au(n,γ)198Au as monitor reaction and carried out the reaction for the neutron energies of 13.520 ± 0.005 and 14.54 ± 0.24 MeV. The neutrons obtained from the D-T fusion reaction of Purnima neutron generator were used for the activation of the given reaction and the monitor. The covariance analysis and the partial uncertainties due to various attributes were utilised for estimating the uncertainty propagation and hence obtained the correlation for measured reaction cross-sections. The measured reaction cross-sections have been validated with earlier reported data from EXFOR, ENDF data of various libraries, and also theoretically calculated the values of the TALYS-1.9 code.
