Abstract
The thermal neutron capture cross-section (Ï0) and resonance integral (I0) of the 108Pd(n,γ)109Pd reaction have been measured relative to that of the monitor reaction 197Au(n,γ)198Au. The measurements were carried out using the neutron activation with the cadmium ratio method. Both the samples and monitors were irradiated with and without cadmium cover of 0.5â¯mm thickness. The induced activities of the reaction products were measured with a well calibrated HPGe γ-ray detector. In order to improve the accuracy of the results, the necessary corrections for the counting losses were made. The thermal neutron capture cross-section and resonance integral of the 108Pd(n,γ)109Pd reaction were determined to be Ï0,Pdâ¯=â¯8.68â¯Â±â¯0.41â¯barn and I0,Pdâ¯=â¯245.6â¯Â±â¯24.8â¯barn, respectively. The obtained results are compared with literature values and discussed.
