Measurement of thermal neutron capture cross section of ⁷¹Ga with dual monitor foils and covariance analysis

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁷¹Ga, ⁵⁵Mn, ¹⁹⁷Au(n, γ), E thermal; measured reaction products, Eγ, Iγ(t), En, In; deduced σ of ⁷¹Ga(n, γ)⁷²Ga using ¹⁹⁷Au(n, γ) and ⁵⁵Mn(n, γ) monitor reactions. Comparison with other published measurements and with databases (Mughabghab 2018, ENDF/B-VIII.0, JEFF-3.3, JENDL-4.0 and EAF-2010). Neutrons from an Am-Be source placed inside a concrete bunker.
