Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:10.16(Nuclear Science & Technology)The present study selected
Np among radioactive nuclides and aimed to measure the thermal-neutron capture cross-section for
Np in a well-thermalized neutron field by an activation method. A
Np standard solution was used for irradiation samples. A thermal-neutron flux at an irradiation position was measured with neutron flux monitors:
Sc,
Co,
Mo,
Ta and
Au. The
Np sample and flux monitors were irradiated together for 30 minutes in the graphite thermal column equipped with the Kyoto University Research Reactor. The similar irradiation was carried out twice. After the irradiations, the
Np samples were quantified using 312-keV gamma ray emitted from
Pa in a radiation equilibrium with
Np. The reaction rates of
Np were obtained from gamma-ray peak net counts given by
Np, and then the thermal-neutron capture cross-section of
Np was found to be 173.8
4.4 barn by averaging the results obtained by the two irradiations. The present result was in agreement with the reported data given by a time-of-flight method within the limit of uncertainty.

Times Cited Count:14 Percentile:74.69(Chemistry, Analytical)The measurements of isotopic ratios of Cs samples by thermal ionization mass spectrometry were performed for the analysis of their samples used to evaluate nuclear data obtained for
Cs. To obtain a high intensity and stable ion beam, the effects of additive agents on the ionization of Cs were examined. The effect of silicotungstic acid on the ionization of Cs was the largest among the additive agents studied in the present study, while the silicotungstic acid also showed the largest isobaric interference of polyatomic ions. It was demonstrated that as small as 2
10
g of a Cs sample was sufficient to achieve the analytical precision required to measure the
Cs/
Cs ratio in the case where an additive agent of TaO/glucose was employed. After examining of the analytical conditions, such as the interference effect due to Ba, the measurements of the isotopic ratios of two Cs samples used in our study using TIMS were conducted, and it was discussed how much the ratios contributed to evaluation of the neutron capture cross-section of
Cs.

Cs reaction by an activation method and mass spectrometry. We used
Cs contained as an impurity in a normally available
Cs standard solution. An isotope ratio of
Cs and
Cs in a standard
Cs solution was measured by mass spectrometry to quantify
Cs. The analyzed
Cs samples were irradiated at the hydraulic conveyer of the research reactor in Institute for Integral Radiation and Nuclear Science, Kyoto University. Wires of Co/Al and Au/Al alloys were used as neutron monitors to measure thermal-neutron fluxes and epi-thermal Westcott's indices at an irradiation position. A gadolinium filter was used to measure the

Cs,
Cs and monitor wires. On the basis of Westcott's convention, the
