ABSTRACT
|
The 100Mo(γ, n) reaction cross-section was experimentally determined at end point bremsstrahlung energy of 10 and 12.5 MeV using off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique. It was also found that 100Mo(γ, n) reaction cross-section increases sharply from the end point bremsstrahlung energy of 10 MeV to 12.5 MeV, which may be because of GDR around the energy region of 12–16 MeV. The 100Mo(γ, n) reaction cross-section as a function of photon energy was calculated theoretically using TALYS 1.2 computer code. The flux-weighted average values of 100Mo(γ, n) reaction cross-section for bremsstrahlung having end point energy of 10 and 12.5 MeV were also calculated using the experimental and theoretical data of mono-energetic photon. The present experimental 100Mo(γ n) reaction cross-sections were compared with the bremsstrahlung flux-weighted average values of experimental and theoretical data and found to be in the lower side for 10 MeV and in the higher side for 12.5 MeV. |
