Original Abstract

The cross-section of 85Rb (n,2n) 84mRb has been measured at the neutron energies of 12.97±0.51 MeV and 18.99±0.74 MeV using activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometry technique. The experiment was carried out at 14UD BARC-TIFR Pelletron facility. Fast neutrons were produced by the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction. 27Al(n,α) 24Na was used to determine the absolute neutron flux. The induced γray activity in the reaction products was measured using a high purity Germanium (Ge) detector. The experimentally measured data were compared with the literature data of the existing library. Theoretically, the cross-sections were evaluated using the numerical code TALYS-1.96 with different level density models at neutron energies from the threshold to 20 MeV. The results are also compared with the previously published data in EXFOR and ENDF nuclear data libraries.
