Calculating the stopping power and neutron yield of 133CS (A,2N) 135LA reaction for the energies between (18.5-47)

Abstract

In the present work, calculated the cross sections of 133CS (A,2N) 135LA reaction By using interpolated and take the cross-sections published in the international literature for the selection of the appropriate energies ground level interaction in a computer–based program (MATALAB-17.0), in steps of energies (0.5 MeV). The quasi-experimental equation was derived from tabulated results linking a specific cross-section with energies, accounting for the neutron yield in accordance with the Zeigler neutron interactions formula using the program (SRIM 2013), and accounting for the stopping power which was also drawn and tabulated by measuring the yield at two closely spaced energies E1 and E2, one can determine the average value of the integrand over this energy interval and it turns out that the values are directly proportional until the alpha energy values reach 40 million electron volts. We notice that the change in the values is very slight. The neutron yield values begin to increase until the alpha energy reaches 40 million electron volts, after which the neutron yield becomes almost constant.
