ENTRY 31542 20050209 SUBENT 31542001 20050209 BIB 14 34 TITLE Neutron Capture Cross Section Measurements of 109Ag, 186W and 158Gd on Filtered Neutron Beams of 55 and 144 keV AUTHOR (Vuong Huu Tan,Nguyen Canh Hai,Pham Ngoc Son, Tran Tuan Anh) INSTITUTE (3VN DAL) (3VN VN ) Vietnam Atomic Energy Commission REFERENCE (R,INDC(VN)-011,,2004) FACILITY (REAC) Dalat nuclear research reactor. The structures of the filter for 55 keV neutron beam are 98cmSi+35g/cm2S+0.2g/cm2B10, and those for 144 keV neutron beam are 98cmSi+1cmTi+0.2g/cm2B10. INC-SOURCE (REAC) METHOD (ACTIV,FNB) DETECTOR (HPGE) The activities of samples and gold foils were measured with the high resolution and efficiency calibrated HPGe detector, and the samples were placed on the surface of the detector because of their weak activities. MONITOR ((MONIT1)79-AU-197(N,G)79-AU-198,,SIG) The results, obtained relative to the standard cross section values of 197Au(n,g)198Au ((MONIT2)79-AU-197(N,TOT),,SIG) MONIT-REF ENDF/B-VI data file for 197Au (MAT=7925), P.G. Young and E.D. Arthur, NDS, IAEA. DECAY-MON (79-AU-198,2.69D,DG,411.7,0.955) ERR-ANALYS (ERR-T) The experimental uncertainties of the current measurements are 5 to 10%, which are mainly due to: * the statistical errors (0.1 - 10%), * the uncertainties of gamma-ray detection efficiency (2.0%) * the reference cross section value (3.0%).
