The Nb(n, 2n), Nb(n,α) and Nb(n, n') cross sections at 14 MeV

Abstract

The 93Nb(n, 2n)92mNb and 93Nb(n, alpha )90mY cross sections at 14.68 MeV were measured relative to the 56Fe(n, p)56Mn cross section. The 93Nb(n, n')93mNb cross section at 14.3 MeV was then measured relative to the previously determined Nb(n, 2n) cross section.
