Abstract

Mono-energetic γ-beams (∆ ∼ 10 eV) based on thermal neutron capture, in a nuclear reactor, using the Mn(n; γ) reaction were utilized for generating a fast neutron source from Zinc, via the ⁶⁷Zn(γ; n) reaction. One of the incident γ-lines of the Mn source at E_γ = 7244 keV, photoexcites by chance a resonance level in ⁶⁷Zn, with subsequent emission of neutrons at an energy of 191 keV. The cross-section for this process was measured and found to be σðγ; nÞ = 252 ± 41 mb with an intensity of the order of 10⁴ n/s. The angular distribution of the 191 keV neutron group was also measured.
