Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.16(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Ba has the smallest neutron capture cross section among the stable Ba isotopes. The neutron capture reaction of Ba is dominated by resolved resonances in the astrophysically relevant energy region. Thus, reliable experimental data of the capture cross section are necessary. In the present work, we measured the neutron capture cross section of Ba in the energy region from 15 to 100 keV by the time-of-flight method at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. The capture cross sections were obtained from the pulse height spectra by the pulse-height weighting technique. A comparison of the present results with previous experimental data and evaluated data was made. We also derived -ray spectra by unfolding the pulse height spectra. It was revealed that the shape of -ray spectra strongly depends on neutron energy.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:84.98(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Improvement of accuracy of neutron nuclear data for minor actinides (MAs) and long-lived fission products (LLFPs) is required for developing innovative nuclear system transmuting these nuclei. In order to meet the requirement, the project entitled as "Research and development for Accuracy Improvement of neutron nuclear data on Minor ACtinides (AIMAC)" has been started as one of the "Innovative Nuclear Research and Development Program" at October 2013. The AIMAC project team is composed of researchers in four different fields: differential nuclear data measurement, integral nuclear data measurement, nuclear chemistry, and nuclear data evaluation. By integrating all of the forefront knowledge and techniques in these fields, the team aims at improving the accuracy of the data. The background, overall plan, and recent progress of the AIMAC project will be reviewed.
