Abstract

Abstract: Two samples, one of natural iridium and the other of enriched 193 Ir, were irradiated with a monoenergetic neutron beam of energy 6.0 MeV at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. The product of the 193 Ir ( n, n ′ ) 193 m Ir reaction was determined by means of measuring X-rays following electron conversion of the isomeric state at 80.2 keV in 193 Ir. The cross section for inelastic neutron scattering is reported disagreeing with the literature data. Highlights: Neutron activation measurements of natural iridium and enriched 193 Ir at 6 MeV. Inelastic scattering cross section determination from X-ray measurements. The present data gives the upper limit for the 193 Ir(n, n') 193m Ir reaction cross section at 6 MeV.
