Abstract
The cross sections of the 168Yb(n,2n)167Yb, 174Yb(n,p)174Tm, 173Yb(n,p)173Tm, 174Yb(n,α)171Er, 170Yb(n,2n)169Yb and 176Yb(n,2n)175Yb nuclear reactions at 14.77 MeV neutron energy and the flux weighted average cross sections of the 168Yb(γ,n)167Yb, 170Yb(γ,n)169Yb and 176Yb(γ,n)175Yb nuclear reactions at 10 and 15 MeV bremsstrahlung endpoint energies are measured using offline gamma spectroscopy. The bremsstrahlung photon-induced reactions are reported for the first time at these energies. The results are compared with the evaluated nuclear data from the ENDF/B.-VIII.0, JEFF-3.3 and TENDL-2019 libraries. The theoretical model calculations are performed with the TALYS-1.95 nuclear code with parameters tuned to reproduce the measured data. The measured cross sections are in good agreement with the literature and evaluated data. The results are significant for the experimental nuclear database and reactor technology development.
