Abstract
Fission TPC L2 Milestone Description: The fission TPC experimental campaign is in its final stages of collecting high precision (n,f) cross section data aimed at improving our understanding of the 239Pu fission process. During FY 2019 235U(n,f)/6Li(n,t) ratio data collection began at WNR/LANSCE. This data is the first step in demonstrating the efficacy of 6Li(n,t) as a diagnostic standard for a 239Pu(n,f) ratio measurement. In FY 2020 and FY2021, the NIFFTE Collaboration will analyze 235U(n,f)/6Li(n,t) data already collected to establish this technique in preparation for 239Pu(n,f)/6Li(n,t) ratio data. Additionally, the ability to vapor deposit 239Pu was developed in 2019, greatly improving target quality. As access to experimental facilities allows, 239Pu/235U and 239Pu/6Li data will be collected to provide new inputs for evaluation of the 239Pu(n,f) cross section.
