Abstract
The electron linear accelerator facility at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was used to measure neutron capture yields of dysprosium with the time-of-flight method in the neutron energy region from 10 eV to 1 keV. The neutron capture experiments were made at a flight path length of 25.5 m with a 16-section NaI multiplicity detector. High purity isotopic samples of 161Dy, 162Dy, 163Dy, 164Dy as well as one natural dysprosium sample with thickness of 0.508 mm were used in this measurement. Resonance parameters were extracted from the data using simultaneous fit with the multilevel R-matrix Bayesian code SAMMY 8.0. New resonances are proposed, and other resonances previously identified in the literature have been revised. The present results are compared with other evaluated values of ENDF/B-VII.1 and JENDL 4.0.
