Measurement of the Pb-208(n,p) Tl-208 reaction cross section between 30 and 70 MeV neutron energy

Abstract

The Pb-208(n,p)(208)T1 reaction cross section has been measured between 30 and 70 MeV neutron energy by the activation method. The results are compared with the predictions of a schematic model which includes contributions from direct reactions and compound nucleus formation
