Abstract
Cross sections for the O-17(n,p)N-17 (T-1/2 = 4.7 s) reaction in the energy region between 13.7 and 14.9 were measured by the activation method using the Fusion Neutronics Source (FNS) at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Inst itute. Cross sections for the reaction obtained were 23 +/- 5 11 +/- 4 and <7 mb at 14.9 +/- 0.1, 14.4 +/- 0.1, and 13.7 +/- 0.1 MeV, respectively. Th is work uniquely gives the experimental partial excitation function for the similar to 14-MeV reaction.
