Description

The average cross section for the reaction /sup 63/Cu(n,/alpha/)/sup 60/Co has been measured absolutely in the /sup 252/Cf spontaneous fission neutron field by activation in compensated flux geometry with an accuracy of approximately 2.4% (1/sigma/). The resulting cross-section value is compared in this paper with calculated values obtained by convoluting the spectral distribution of /sup 252/Cf neutrons with existing energy-differential data for the reaction /sup 63/Cu(n,/alpha/)/sup 60/Co. 25 refs
