摘要
The neutron capture cross-section of Am-241 was measured from 10 meV to about 500 keV using the NaI(Tl) spectrometer of the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement Instrument (ANNRI) beamline in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The total energy detection principle was applied in conjunction with the pulse-height weighting technique to derive the neutron capture yield. The present cross-section results were normalized using a Au-197 sample measurement by applying the saturated resonance method. The thermal cross section was measured to be 708 & PLUSMN; 22 b, in agreement with the evaluation in JENDL-5 of 709 b within uncertainties. In the keV region, the evaluated libraries of JENDL-5, ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF-3.3 are in good agreement with the present results over 10 keV but show values lower by 30% to 70% below that energy. Moreover, the results of a resonance shape analysis of the resolved resonance region are also provided in the present paper.
