237Np(n,f) cross section: New data and present status

  • 1. Nuclear Data Section, IAEA

Description

In this document, we present the final result obtained at the n_TOF experiment for the neutron- induced fission cross section of the 237Np, from the fission threshold up to 1 GeV. The method applied to get this result is briefly discussed. n_TOF data are compared to the last experimental measurements using other TOF facilities or the surrogate method, reported experiments performed with monoenergetic sources and the FISCAL systematic, including a discussion about the existing discrepancies.
