Measurements of Activation Cross Sections of (N, P) and (N, A) Reactions in the Energy Range of 3.5-5.9 MeV Using a Deuterium Gas Target

Measurements of cross section data of twelve reactions and two reactions in the neutron energy range of 3.5-5.9 MeV by using the KN-Van de Graaff (VdG) at Nagoya University are examined. Neutrons are generated by using the KN-VdG at Nagoya University. The systematics of the reaction is proposed on the basis of the compound nucleus. The systematics of the reaction at a neutron energy of 5.0 MeV are proposed for the first time on the basis of data with simple parameters, which can predict cross sections of the reaction within an accuracy of a factor of 1.6 in the mass range between 27 and 92 only.
