Cross Sections for theO16(n, p)N16Reaction from 12 to 18 Mev

Abstract

The energy dependence of the ${\mathrm{O}}^{16}(n, p){\mathrm{N}}^{16}$ reaction cross section has been determined for neutron energies from 12 to 18 Mev. For 14-Mev neutrons, the absolute value of the reaction cross section was found to be 89±30 mb.
