Mo-92(n,xn yp z alpha gamma) reactions for neutron energies up to 250 MeV - art. no. 054608

Excitation functions from the interaction of fast neutrons (up to an energy of 250 MeV) on a target of Mo-92 have been measured. Yields have been dete rmined for reaction gamma rays from Mo88-92, Nb88-92, Zr86-91, Y-84-86,Y-88 , and Sr80.82-86. These results are compared with model calculations using the GNASH code which takes into account compound nucleus, preequilibrium em ission,multiple preequilibrium emission, and direct reaction contributions. The model calculations are in good agreement overall, but significant disc repancies emerge for some high-multiplicity, charged-particle-exit channels .
