Abstract

Cross-sections for (n,2n), (n,p), and (n,t) reactions have been measured on praseodymium isotopes at the neutron energies from 13.5 to 14.8 MeV using the activation technique in combination with high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. Data are reported for the following reactions: 141Pr(n,2n) 140Pr, 141Pr(n,p) 141Ce, and 141Pr(n,t) 139Ce. Nuclear model calculations using the code HFTT, which employs the Hauser–Feshbach (statistical model) and exciton model (precompound effects) formalisms, were undertaken to describe the formation of the products. The results were compared with previous data.
