초록

중성자에너지 영역 0.003 eV에서 10 eV에 대해 천연 Sm의 Sm(n,${\gamma}$) 반응에 대한 중성자 포획단면적을 측정하였다. 교토대학교 원자로실험소의 46-MeV 전자선형가속기에서 발생되는 전자의 광핵반응에 의한 중성자를 사용하였고 TOF 방법으로 측정하였다. 사용한 검출기는 12개의 BGO($Bi_4Ge_3O_{12}$) 섬광체로 구성되었고 이 검출장치로 Sm(n,${\gamma}$) 반응으로부터 나오는 즉발감마선을 측정하였다. 검출장치는 중성자 생성 위치로부터 $12.7{\pm}0.02m$ 위치에 설치되었으며 $^{10}B(n,{\alpha}{\gamma})^7Li$ 반응을 이용해 Sm 시료에 입사되는 중성자 선속을 구하였다. 또한 중성자 선속의 변화를 확인하기 위해 $BF_3$ 검출기로 모니터링 하였다. Sm(n,${\gamma}$) 반응단면적 측정결과는 BROND 2.2에 의한 평가결과와 J. C. Chou 및 V. N. Kononov 의 측정값과 비교하였다.

We measured the neutron capture cross-section of natural Sm(n,${\gamma}$) reaction in the energy regions from 0.003 to 10 eV. The 46-MeV electron linear accelerator of Research Reactor Institute, Kyoto University was used for generating a continuous neutron source. The neutron time-of-flight method was adopted for energy measurement. An assembly of BGO($Bi_4Ge_3O_{12}$) scintillators composed of 12 pieces of BGO crystals measured prompt gamma rays from Sm(n,${\gamma}$) reaction. The BGO assembly was located at a distance of $12.7{\pm}0.02m$ from the neutron source. In order to determine the neutron flux impinging on the Sm, the $^{10}B(n,{\alpha}{\gamma})^7Li$ standard cross-section were used. Natural Sm(n,${\gamma}$) reaction measurement result of the neutron capture cross-section was compared with the results of evaluation of the BROND-2.2 and the previous experimental data of J. C. Chou and V. N. Kononov.
