Description
The cross-sections of the reactions 58Ni(n,p) 58Co, and 60Ni(n,p) 60Co were measured for En = 8 - 12 MeV using the H(t,n) 3He reaction for neutron production. It is shown that the H(t,n) reaction is very well suited for cross-section measurements in the difficult neutron energy region. 8 - 12 MeV, where most other source reactions are no longer truly monoenergetic. In these first preliminary measurements the uncertainties still amount to 3 - 7%, however from the experience gained in this experiment it can be concluded that an accuracy of 2-3% can be obtained in future experiments. The results for 60Ni(n,p) 60Co deviate considerably from previous measurements and suggest that the nuclear data libraries for this reaction should be revised considerably
