Abstract
ABSTRACTThe neutron capture cross sections and capture γ-ray spectra of 74,76,78,80,82Se were measured in a region from 15 to 100 keV and around 550 keV. A neutron time-of-flight method was used with a ns-pulsed neutron source based on the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction and a large anti-Compton NaI(Tl) γ-ray spectrometer. A pulse-height weighting technique was applied to the observed γ-ray pulse-height spectra to obtain capture yields. The capture cross sections of 74,76,78,80Se were derived with uncertainties from 4.0 to 5.5% and those of 82Se were derived with uncertainties of 6.5–27% by using the standard capture cross sections of 197Au. The present results of 78,82Se were the first experimental ones above the resolved resonance region. The present results were compared with previous measurements and the evaluated values in JENDL-5.0 and ENDF/B-VIII.0. The evaluations of JENDL-5.0 differ from the present results of 74,76,78,80Se and 82Se by 0.9–51% and 6.9–120%, respectively. The capture γ-ray spectra of 74,76,78,80,82Se were derived by unfolding the observed capture γ-ray pulse-height spectra. The present results were the first experimental ones in the keV region.KEYWORDS: Neutron capturecross sectionsgamma spectrakev rangeselenium 74selenium 76selenium 78selenium 80selenium 82selenium 79gold 197Anti-compton NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometertime-of-flight methodpulse-height weighting techniqueDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
