Neutron capture cross section measurements are crucial for understanding nuclear reactions and the behavior of materials under neutron irradiation. The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J ...

The NGATLAS contains neutron capture cross sections in the range 10-5eV - 20MeV as evaluated and compiled in ... available upon request from the IAEA Nuclear Data Section.

This makes the resulting thermal (‘slow’) neutrons fall right within the neutron cross section for U-235 and a few other elements (e.g. Pu isotopes), but incapable of fissioning most ...
