Measurements of Activation Cross Sections for the Production of Co-60 on Ni and Cu in the Energy Range from 13 to 20 MeV
Neutron activation cross sections for the 63Cu(n, alpha)60Co, and 60Ni(n,p)60Co reactions were measured in the energy range from 13 to 20 MeV. The irradiations were carried out at the 7 MV Van de Graaff accelerator at IRMM, Geel. Quasi-mono-energetic neutrons were produced via the 3H(d,n)4He reaction at 1,2,3, and 4 MeV incident deuteron energy. All reaction cross section. The 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb reaction cross section was used as a secondary standard. The measured results are compared with work by other authors, TALYS-0.57 and STAPRE-H+ model calculations, and current evaluated data files. For both reactions a new shape of the excitation function was found, as compared to the previous measurements above 15MeV.
