β¦ Synopsis
The fast neutron capture in silicon, sulphur and calcium was studied using the recently proposed consistent version of the direct-semi-direct capture model. We present the calculation of excitation functions and integrated cross sections for the reactions 28Si(n,y)29Si, 325(rt, T)33S and 4Β°Ca(n, T)nlca. The selected target nuclei having the same number of neutrons and protons are suitable for the study of isospin conservation rules which strongly influence the transition amplitudes. It is shown that the energy-weighted photo-nuclear cross sections should be reduced due to the isospin selection rules and that consistent reproduction of the experimental excitation functions and integrated cross sections is obtained in all the cases studied.

The consistent direct-semidirect capture model (CDSD) is applied to the keV energy region where the direct process is dominant. We study the influence of the correction of the form of the direct term due to a difference AV in the potentials used to describe the scattering and the bound single-partic
The simple perturbation technique has been used to determine effective capture crosssections for a large number of materials in the small experimental fast reactor ZEPHYR. Measurements have been made not onlywith the majority of the natural elements, but also with a considerable number of enriched i
