被引用回数:24 パーセンタイル:76.71(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Reliable neutron-induced-reaction cross sections of unstable nuclei are essential for nuclear astrophysics and applications but their direct measurement is often impossible. The surrogate-reaction method is one of the most promising alternatives to access these cross sections. In this work, we successfully applied the surrogate-reaction method to infer for the first time both the neutron-induced fission and radiative capture cross sections of
Pu in a consistent manner from a single measurement. This was achieved by combining simultaneously measured fission and
-emission probabilities for the
Pu(
He,
He') surrogate reaction with a calculation of the angular-momentum and parity distributions populated in this reaction. While other experiments measure the probabilities for some selected
-ray transitions, we measure the
-emission probability. This enlarges the applicability of the surrogate-reaction method.

被引用回数:14 パーセンタイル:63.74(Physics, Nuclear)Neutron-induced fission cross section data are needed in various fields of applied and basic nuclear science. However, cross sections of short-lived nuclei are difficult to measure directly due to experimental constraints. The first experimental determination of the neutron-induced fission cross section of
Np at non-thermal energies was performed. The Surrogate Ratio Method (SRM) was employed to indirectly deduce the
Np(
,
) cross section. The surrogate reactions used were
U
and
U
with the reference cross section given by the well-known
Np(
,
) cross section. The ratio of observed fission reactions resulting from the two formed compound nuclei,
Np and
Np, was multiplied by the directly-measured
Np(
,
) cross section to determine the
Np(
,
) cross section. The
Np(
,
) cross section was determined with an uncertainty ranging between 3 - 30% over the energy range of 0.2 - 20 MeV.
