Burnout cross section of 159Dy

  • 1. Physics Dept., Purdue Univ., West Lafayette, IN (USA)

Description

The burnout cross section for 159Dy for thermal neutrons has been determined to be 8 ± 2 kilobarns. Competing techniques involving direct intensity measurements of the 58 keV line of 159Dy, and a relative measurement of the intensities of the 58 keV and the 82 keV line of 166Dy were used to arrive at this value.
