Cross section measurement of <sup>114</sup>Cd(n,γ) reaction using the Detector for Advance Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE).

ORAL

Abstract

The study of 114Cd nucleus cross section is important owing to its astrophysical applications and its presence in neutron absorption applications using natural Cd. The uncertainties in the cross section of 114Cd has been found by a recent sensitivity study to have a significant impact on the final s-process abundance uncertainties. Also, study of the 114Cd(n,γ)115Cd cross section is essential for improving the reliability of calculations investigating the nature of possible M1 strength in 114Cd and properties of nuclei far from stability. We will present preliminary result of 114Cd(n,γ) cross section measured with the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center.
