Abstract

In this study, activation cross-sections were measured for the 101Ru(n,p)101Tc reaction at three different neutron energies from 13.5 to 14.8 MeV. The fast neutrons were produced via the 3H(d,n)4He reaction on K-400 neutron generator. Induced gamma activities were measured by a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer with high-purity germanium detector. Measurements were corrected for gamma-ray attenuations, random coincidence (pile-up), dead time and fluctuation of neutron flux. The data for 101Ru(n,p)101Tc reaction cross-sections are reported to be 15.7 ± 2.0, 18.4 ± 2.7 and 22.0 ± 2.4 mb at 13.5 ± 0.2, 14.1 ± 0.2, and 14.8 ± 0.2 MeV incident neutron energies, respectively. Results were compared with the previous works.
