Measurement of Double Differential Cross Sections for ~(39)K(n,α)~(36)Cl Reaction

Introduction ~(39)K(n,α)~(36)Cl reaction data are important in nuclear engineering, nuclear medicine, astrophysics as well as in the study of nuclear mechanism. As we know, experimental data for ~(39)K(n,α)~(36)Cl reaction are scanty and there is no double differential datum. The double differential cross section data of ~(39)K(n,α)~(36)Cl reaction were measured at 4.41±0.26, 5.46±0.21 and 6.52±0.16 MeV using a gridded ionization chamber (GIC).
