Cross-section measurements for neutron-induced reactions in copper at neutron energies of 70.7 and 110.8Â MeV

Cross-sections for neutron-induced reactions on copper producing relatively short-lived radionuclides were measured at incident neutron energies of 70.7 and 110.8 MeV. These measurements were made using quasi-monoenergetic neutrons obtained from the Be + p reaction. Corrections were made for the contribution of the low energy tail in the incident neutron spectrum of these measurements. The measured cross-sections were compared with some of the few reported cross-section measurements for neutron-induced reactions at high energies, theoretical cross-sections calculated using MC-ALICE and with the cross-sections for the corresponding proton-induced reactions.
