Abstract
Activation cross-sections for neutron capture have been measured at an energy of 14.5 MeV for160Gd, relative to σ(160Gd(n, 2n)159Gd)=1975 mb. Gamma-ray spectra of the product nuclei were measured with a HP Ge-detector. By systematically varying the geometrical arrangement the corrections due to the influence of lower energy neutrons could be determined. The corrected activation capture cross-section at 14.5 MeV is found to be 1.0±0.2 mb.
