Abstract

The (n, p), (n, α) and (n, 2n) cross sections for F19 and Na23 have been measured by the activation method. In all cases the products were identified by their half-periods and/or characteristic gamma rays. Comparison is made between the measured cross sections and those calculated on the basis of the statistical theory. The comparison between theory and experiment shows satisfactory agreement for the (n, α) and (n, p) reactions, but certain discrepancies in the case of the (n, 2n) reactions.

    The 19F(n, p)19O channel becomes available when En > 4.25 MeV. The calculated results are a little smaller than those measured by Marion et al. [22] but agree well with those measured by Smith et al. [23], Bormann et al. [24], and Picard et al. [20]. No measured data are available for the 19F(n, np)18O channel, which becomes active when En > 6.08 MeV.
