Measurement of thermal neutron cross section of $$^{137}$$Cs(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{138}$$Cs reaction

Harada, Hideo   ; Watanabe, Hisashi; Sekine, Toshiaki*; Hatsukawa, Yuichi*; Kobayashi, Katsunori*; Kato, Toshio*

The thermal neutron cross section of the $$^{137}$$Cs(n,$$gamma$$)$$^{138}$$Cs reaction was measured in order to supply a basic data for the nuclear transmutation research of radioactive waste. Irradiated $$^{137}$$Cs samples were chemically purified and their $$gamma$$-ray spectra were measured with a HPGe detector. From the intensity ratio between the $$^{138}$$Cs $$gamma$$-rays and the $$^{137}$$Cs $$gamma$$-ray, the capture cross section was deduced to be 0.250$$pm$$0.013 barn, which is 2.3 times larger than the one measured by Stupegia.
