Phys. Rev. C 79, 057603 (2009) [4 pages]Activation cross sections for reactions induced by 14 MeV neutrons on natural tantalumReceived 3 April 2009; published 27 May 2009 Cross sections for (n,2n), (n,p), (n,n'α), (n,t), (n,d'), and (n,α) reactions have been measured on tantalum isotopes at the neutron energies of 13.5 to 14.7 MeV using the activation technique. Data are reported for the following reactions: 181Ta(n,2n)180Tag, 181Ta(n,p)181Hf, 181Ta(n,n'α)177Lum, 181Ta(n,t)179Hfm2, 181Ta(n,d')180Hfm, and 181Ta(n,α)178Lum. The neutron fluences were determined using the monitor reaction 27Al(n,α)24Na. Results were discussed and compared with the previous works. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
