The Photoneutron Cross Section of 9Be in the Intermediate Energy Range

Abstract
The photoneutron cross section of DBe has been measured in the region from 6�5 to 18 MeV, using filtered bremsstrahlung radiation from an 18 MeV synchrotron. The integrated cross section is in agreement with an earlier experiment, but increased resolution has shown a more complex shape, with sharp maxima at 1l�25�O�2 and 13� 25 � 0�2 MeV. The significant features of the cross section are discussed and compared with the level scheme as it is known at present.
