Measurements of activation cross-sections for 165Ho(n,2n)164gHo and 180W(n,2n)179gW reactions induced by neutrons around 14 MeV

The cross-sections of 165Ho(n,2n)164gHo and 180W(n,2n)179gW reactions induced by neutrons around 14 MeV were measured using activation technique and calculated by a previously developed formulas, in which the neutron flux was determined using the monitor reaction 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb. Because both of the excited and ground states were produced in each of the two reactions, one formula was introduced to take out the effect from excited state. Comparison between this work and old data were given.
