Fusion Neutronics Activityat Osaka Universityin 1999-2000 - Differential experiments: - Charged particle emission DDX - Gamma-ray production cross section - (n,2n) reaction cross section with a beam source - Integral experiments: - Leakage gamma-ray spectra from slabs - Secondary gamma-ray skyshine
Measurements of double differential cross sections for charged particle emission reactions by 14 MeV neutrons Samples: natSi and 19F Facility: OKTAVIAN, pulsed neutrons Machine time: 4 weeks in 2000 Method: 2-dimensional analysis of energy and time-of- flight (E-TOF) Remarks: Bayes’ estimation method was successfully introduced to correct energy loss in thick samples. Compound samples were successfully employed for light element measurements. Result: Agreement is not good with the evaluated nuclear data for both elements.
Measurements of secondary gamma-ray production cross sections with Hp-Ge detector induced by 14 MeV Neutrons Samples: natSn Facility: OKTAVIAN, pulsed neutrons Machine time: 2 weeks in 2000 Method:TOF-gated PHS analysis Remarks: Discrete and continuum components were successfully extracted from the measured pulse height spectrum (PHS) with Hp-Ge (the results were still preliminary). Result: The present data are the first measured discrete gamma- ray production cross sections for natSn.
(n,2n) reaction cross section measurement with a beam DT neutron source Samples: 55Mn (to check the system) Facility: FNS, pencil beam neutrons Machine time: 6 weeks in 1999-2000 Method: Coincidence detection andpulse shape discrimination Remarks: The method to directly measure the spectra of two neutrons emitted from (n,2n) reaction has been established. Result: For 55Mn, the measured (n,2n) cross section was in good agreement with the experimental value obtained by the activation method.
Fusion neutronics benchmark experiment - leakage gamma-ray spectrum measurement - Samples: LiAlO2, Li2TiO3, Li2ZrO312C, 51V, natFe, natCu, natPb, natW Facility: FNS, pulsed neutrons Machine time: 4 weeks in 1999-2000 Method: TOF-gated PHS analysis Remarks: A high-energy resolution measurement for a wide energy range from 0.05 to 15 MeV was realized. Validation has been carried out for five nuclear data files, i.e., JENDL- 3.2, JENDL fusion file, ENDF/B-VI, FENDL/E-1.0 and FENDL/E-2.0. Result: natV: Underestimation of all the nuclear data files. natFe: Overestimation of JENDL-3.2. natPb: Reproduction is not good for JENDLs 16O: 6 MeV peak is not reproduced by JENDLs.

Secondary gamma-ray skyshine from 14 MeV neutron source facility Facility: FNS, DC neutrons (~1x1011) Machine time: 2 weeks in 2002 Detector: NaI(5”x5”,8”x8”), Hp-Ge(40%) Remarks: Clean skyshine benchmark data can be obtained up to 1000 m from the neutron source. Result: Preliminary experiment has been done under the plug- in condition (the plug is just above the source and on the ceiling) at 140 m from the facility.
