Abstract
The energy dependent cross-section for the 115In(n, n′)115mIn reaction was measured in the neutron energy region from 3·37 to 4·89 MeV with a 2 MeV van de Graaff accelerator. A pair of semiconductor proton recoil counters composed of a polyethylene radiator and a silicon detector was used for the absolute measurement of the neutron flux at the indium sample.
A comparison of the average cross section, 175 ± 6 mb, which was measured with a fission plate, with the average cross-section calculated with the energy dependent cross-section and the Maxwellian fission neutron spectrum is presented and discussed.
