Evaluation of Reliable Cross Sections of Partial and Total Photoneutron Reactions for the 139La Nucleus

详细

Cross sections of partial photoneutron reactions free of the shortcomings of different ways of determining the multiplicity of neutrons used on beams of quasi-monoenergetic annihilation photons are evaluated for ¹³⁹La. The experimental-theoretical method of evaluation of partial reaction cross sections satisfying proposed data reliability criteria is used to obtain new data on the cross sections of reactions (γ, 1n), (γ, 2n), and (γ, 3n). It is shown that noticeable deviations of experimental cross sections from evaluated values are due to the unreliable sorting of neutrons between channels with multiplicities of 1, 2, and 3.
