Description

Six kinds of radioisotopes were used to measure cross sections of the 9Be(γ,n) reaction near its threshold. The results obtained were 0.88 +- 0.16, 1.33 +- 0.24, 1.10 +- 0.20, 0.73 +- 0.13, 0.47 +- 0.09, and 0.04 mb at 1674.7, 1705.2, 1724.9, 1778.9, 1836.0, and 2167.6 keV, respectively. The cross sections measured show a sharp peak near the threshold, and its width is narrower than that observed using Bremsstrahlung X-rays. Comparison of the present results with theories based on the valence neutron model indicates that the agreement is only qualitative
