Hauser-Feshbach Analysis of Fast Neutron-Induced Reactions on Chlorine
Neutron-induced reactions on 35Cl have recently been measured and analyzed in a Hauser-Feshbach framework at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Particular focus has been applied to the “fast” energy range above 100 keV, where these reactions become important for applications like CLYC (Cs2LiYCl6:Ce) de...

| description | Neutron-induced reactions on 35Cl have recently been measured and analyzed in a Hauser-Feshbach framework at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Particular focus has been applied to the “fast” energy range above 100 keV, where these reactions become important for applications like CLYC (Cs2LiYCl6:Ce) detector characterization and the development of molten chloride fast reactors. However, challenges to applying a purely statistical analysis to this mass range have presented themselves in the form of cross section fluctuations and deviations due to low-mass structure. In this paper, these challenges and their current solutions will be highlighted, as well as preliminary extensions of the analysis to neighboring isotopes and future plans to extend the measurements down to thermal energies. |
