Photoneutron cross sections for samarium isotopes: Toward a unified understanding of (γ, n) and (n, γ) reactions in the rare earth region

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ^{144,147,148,149,150,152,154}Sm(γ, n), E=6-17 MeV; measured E(n), I(n), monochromatic and nonmonochromatic σ(E). Comparison with previous experimental results, and predictions from Skyrme HFB+QRPA using BSk7 interaction, and axially deformed Gogny HFB+QRPA models using D1M interaction. ^{147,148,149,150,151,152}Sm(n, γ), E=0.001-1 MeV; analyzed measured σ(E) with a TALYS calculation using D1M+QRPA calculation for the E1 strength function. ¹⁵³Sm(n, γ), E=0.001-1 MeV; predicted σ(E) from TALYS calculations using γ-strength function (γSF) approach. Comparison with evaluated libraries JENDL-4.0, ENDF/B-VII.1, ROSFOND-2010.
