Analysis of n+197Au cross sections for En=0.01–20 MeV

2008 
An analysis of n+197Au reactions has been completed for incident neutron energies between 0.01 and 20 MeV. The analysis involves use of a deformed optical model to calculate neutron transmission coefficients, a giant‐dipole‐resonance model and expreimental data to determine gamma‐ray transmission coefficients, and Hauser‐Fesbach statistical theory to calculate partial reaction cross sections. Particular emphasis was given to obtaining gamma‐ray strength functions that are consistent with spectral measurements of gamma‐ray emission between En=0.2 and 20 MeV by Morgan and Newman, while at the same time requiring agreement with (n,γ) and (n,xn) cross‐section data.
