The consistency of the data for neutron fission averaged cross-sections of threshold reactions: A study on the cross-section of 46Ti(n,p)46Sc, 47Ti(n,p)47Sc, 48Ti(n,p)48Sc and 64Zn(n,p)64Cu reactions

• Some published data on cross-sections averaged over a fission spectrum are analyzed.
• The reactions were 46Ti(n,p)46Sc; 47Ti(n,p)47Sc; 48Ti(n,p)48Sc and 64Zn(n,p)64Cu.
• Renormalization as a function of five critical parameters was performed.
• Averages of the renormalized values were calculated and the results discussed.

The consistency of the published values for fission averaged cross-sections of threshold reactions induced in a nuclear reactor is analyzed. The influence of the literature data involved in the determination of these cross-sections is discussed. Renormalizations based on cross-sections value for the standard reactions, isotopic abundances of the precursors and radiation emission probabilities of the radionuclide under study and the monitor, are applied to the evaluation of the cross-sections for the reactions: 46Ti(n,p)46Sc; 47Ti(n,p)47Sc; 48Ti(n,p)48Sc; and 64Zn(n,p)64Cu.
