National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Neutron Capture Experiments on Unstable Nuclei. Annual Technical Report for Period November 2002-November 2003.

DE2004820513

Publication Date	2003
Personal Author	Schwantes, J. M.; Sudowe, R.; Nitsche, H.; Hoffman, D. C.
Page Count	50
Abstract	A primary objective of this project is to study neutron capture cross sections for various stable and unstable isotopes that will contribute to the Science Based Stockpile Stewardship (SBSS) program by providing improved data for modeling and interpretation of nuclear device performance. The information obtained will also be important in astrophysical modeling of nucleosynthesis. During this reporting period, the emphasis has been on preparing a radioactive target of l55Eu (half- life= 4.7 years), and several stable targets, including isotopically separated 154Sm, 151Eu, and 153Eu. Measurements of their neutron capture cross sections will be conducted in collaboration with researchers at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) facility using the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE).
