Abstract
The cross section for the reaction has been measured for 12.5- to 18.3-Mev neutrons. The neutrons were obtained from the reaction and their flux density was determined by counting the recoil particles. A I(Eu) scintillation crystal 1½ inches in diameter by ½ inch thick served as both the sample and the detector for the reaction products. The cross section is nearly linear from 34.3 mb at 12.5 Mev to 17.6 mb at 18.3 Mev. It is 28.1±1.6 mb at 14.2±0.2 Mev.
