Abstract

The neutron facility at the 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator of NCSR "Demokritos" can deliver monoenergetic neutron beams in the energy range from thermal to 450 keV, 4-11.5 MeV and 16-20.5 MeV via the ⁷Li(p,n), ²H(d,n) and ³H(d,n) reactions, respectively. The flux variation of the neutron beam is monitored by using a BF₃ counter and a liquid scintillator BC501A detector. The ²³²Th(n,2n)²³¹Th and ²⁴¹Am(n,2n) ²⁴⁰Am as well as (n,2n), (n,p) and (n,α) reactions on natural Ge and Hf isotopes, have been investigated from threshold up to 11.5 MeV, by using the activation method. The cross section values have been determined relative to the ¹⁹⁷Au(n,2n)¹⁹⁶Au, ²⁷Al(n, α)²⁴Na and ⁹³Nb(n,2n) reference reaction cross sections.
