Direct evidence for an inelastic neutron acceleration process on 177mLu(n,n’) reaction |
O. Roig et al (A. Letourneau, D. Dore, Ch. Veyssiere) |
The inelastic neutron acceleration (INNA) cross section on the long-lived metastable state of 177Lu has been measured from a new isomeric target using a direct method. High energy neutrons have been detected using a specially designed setup and a cold neutron beam extracted from the ORPHEE reactor facility in Saclay. The results confirm the high cross section value previously published for INNA cross section on the 177mLu. |
