Özet

Aiming for a better understanding of the 27Al(alpha, n) 30P reaction, new cross-section measurements for this reaction have been carried out using 27Al targets of thicknesses 20 mu g/cm2 and 63 mu g/cm2 for alpha-energy range of 2.5-5.2 MeV and 3.4-5.2 MeV, respectively. An array of twenty-eight 3He counters, providing high and almost flat neutron-detection efficiency up to about 3 MeV neutron energy, has been used for the experiment. The amount of 13C contamination in the 27Al target and its effect on the measured total neutron cross sections has also been reported. The measured cross sections have been interpreted using the dynamical cluster-decay model and the compound Hauser-Feshbach model.
