Ratios of cross sections for the reactions ⁵⁴Fe(n,α)⁵¹Cr, ⁵⁴Fe(n,p)⁵⁴Mn, and ⁵⁶Fe(n,p)⁵⁶Mn were measured by the activation technique. In the 6- to 10-MeV energy range, quasi-monoenergetic neutrons produced by the D(d,n) source reaction were used, while additional data were obtained between 12 and 17 MeV using the T(d,n) source reaction. The cross-section ratios have accuracies between 1.5 and 4.5%.
