Recent results of measurements of the 14N(n,p)14C, 35Cl(n,p)35S, 36Cl(n,p)36S, and 36Cl(n,α)33P reaction cross sections

Abstract

Experiments are reported for measuring the cross section of the 14N(n,p)14C reaction over the neutron energy range from thermal energy to 150 keV at the IBR‐30 pulsed booster at JNR, Dubna and the WWR‐M reactor at INR, Kiev. The reaction cross section values were found for the thermal energy and for the neutron energies of 24 keV, 54 keV, 144 keV. The 36Cl(n,p)36S cross section was measured for the neutron energies from thermal energy to approximately 800 keV at the neutron source of LANSCE, Los Alamos. The contributions of the 36Cl(n,p)36S and 36Cl(n,α)33P reactions to resonances at 0.9 keV and 1.3 keV were identified. Also, at the WWR‐M reactor of PINR, Gatchina, preliminary measurements of the 36Cl(n,p)36S cross section at the thermal neutron energy were conducted. The 35Cl(n,p)35S reaction cross section was measured at the IBR‐30 pulsed booster.
