Cross sections for neutron-induced reactions from surrogate data: Reexamining the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation for (n, n') and (n, 2n) reactions

NUCLEAR REACTIONS 90Zr(n, X), E=4.94-19.86 MeV; 157Gd(n, X), E=6.85-14.77 MeV; 283U(n, X), E=5.95-15.15 MeV; 92Zr(p, d), E=28.5 MeV; 95Mo(d, p), E=12.4 MeV; calculated spin-parity distributions for compound nuclei, probabilities for neutron emission from the 91Zr, 158Gd and 283U compound nucleus as function of excitation energy. 90Zr(n, n'), (n, 2n)E<35 MeV; 157Gd, 283U(n, n'), (n, 2n)E<25 MeV; calculated σ from simulated surrogate reaction data using the Weisskopf-Ewing assumption and various schematic spin-parity distributions. Investigated potential use of the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation for determining (n, n') and (n, 2n) cross sections from surrogate reaction data.
