Calculation of neutron capture and excitation functions of thorium and uranium and comparison with experimental data

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the most optimum sowing date of common and Narbonne vetch at the ecological conditions of Bingöl in 2015. The study was arranged in a completely randomized block design in split plots and it was conducted with two common vetch, two Narbonne vetch and three sowing date. In the study; plant height, green herbage yield, dry herbage yield, seed yield, straw yield, thousand grain weight, crude protein ratio, acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) characteristics were investigated. According to the results, the highest values were obtained from early sowing dates. Therefore, it was concluded that the best optimum sowing date for Bingöl could be April.

Toryum ve uranyumun nötron yakalama ve eksitasyon fonksiyonlarının hesaplanması ve deneysel veriler ile kıyası

Abstract

Bu çalışmada nükleer reaksiyon modelleri sınıflandırılarak ²³²Th ve ²³³U çekirdekler için düşük gelme enerjilerinde nötron yakalama ve eksiton (n,xn) reaksiyon tesir kesitlerine ait nötron yayınlanma spektrumları  hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplamalar geometri bağımlı hibrid model, exciton model ve cascade exciton model, optik model ve multistep istatiksel model kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Deneysel data Uluslararası Atom Enerjisi Kurumunun ENDF/B kütüphanelerinden temin edilmiştir. Deneysel data ile teorik hesaplamalar sonucu elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır.
