Measurement of the Yield and Angular Distributions of Gamma Rays Originating from the Interaction of 14.1-MeV Neutrons with Chromium Nuclei

The reaction induced by the inelastic scattering of 14.1-MeV neutrons on chromium nuclei is studied by means of the tagged-neutron method at the TANGRA (TAgged Neutrons and Gamma RAys) facility deployed at Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and based on the ING-27 standard neutron generator. The energies of visible gamma transitions occurring in various reactions of neutron interaction with chromium nuclei and their partial cross sections are determined. The results obtained by measuring the angular distribution of gamma rays for $${}^{52}$$ Cr are analyzed and are compared with respective results of other experimental studies available in the literature.
