- In the present work the 165Ho(n,2n) reaction was studied experimentally and theoretically for the population of the ground state (Jπ=1+) of the 164Ho product nucleus, as well as for the population of its isomeric state (Eex=139.8 keV, Jπ=6−). The cross sections of both the ground and isomeric state channels were measured at energies near the reaction threshold (Eth=8.04 MeV), at 10.1, 10.4, and 10.7 MeV, as well as at energies higher than 17 MeV, at 17.1, 18.1, 19.0, and 19.6 MeV. The adopted method was the activation technique relative to the 197Au(n,2n) 196Au and 27Al(n,α)24Na reference reactions. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams for the near threshold energies were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction, while for the neutron beams above 17 MeV the 3H(d,n)4He reaction was utilized. In both cases the deuteron beams were delivered by the 5.5 MV Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics at N.C.S.R. “Demokritos”. Additional to the experimental study, calculations were performed using the talys code (v. 1.9). The experimental data of the present work along with the previous measurements were compared with the talys results so as to investigate the reproduction of the experimental data for the different level density models of the code.

Cross-section measurements of the Dy-156(n, 2n)Dy-155 reaction at neutron energies higher than 17 MeV

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the present work the cross section of the 156Dy (n, 2n) 155Dy reaction (Eth = 9.51 MeV) was measured at neutron beam energies above 17 MeV: 17.1, 18.1, and 19.0 MeV. The irradiations were performed at the 5.5-MV tandem accelerator of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics at N.C.S.R. "Demokritos", where quasimonoenergetic neutron beams were produced via the 3H (d, n) 4He reaction. The cross-section measurements were performed by means of the activation technique relative to the 27Al (n, alpha) 24Na reference reaction. Within the present work the experimental study is framed by theoretical calculations performed via the TALYS code (version 1.95).

Determination of the Ir-193(n, 2n) reaction cross section and correction methodology for the Ir-191(n, gamma) contamination

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The cross section of the Ir-193(n, 2n)Ir-192 reaction has been determined by means of the activation technique, relative to the Al-27(n, alpha) and Au-197(n, 2n) reference reactions cross sections, at neutron beam energies ranging from 10 to 21 MeV. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams were produced at the 5.5 MV Tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR "Demokritos" via the H-2(d, n) and H-3(d, n) reactions. The induced gamma-ray activity of the irradiated target and reference foils was measured with high resolution HPGe detectors. In order to correct for the contribution of the Ir-191(n, gamma)Ir-192 reaction, which is open to low energy parasitic neutrons, a recently developed analysis method was implemented and it is presented in great detail. Furthermore, cross section theoretical calculations were carried out using the EMPIRE and TALYS codes over a wide energy range.
