The Th(n,xγ) Reaction Cross Section for Neutrons of Energy Between 0.3 and 20 MeV

Differential cross sections for neutron-induced gamma-ray production from thorium have been measured for incident neutron energies between 0.3 and 20.0 MeV. The Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator was used as a neutron source. A Nal spectrometer at 125 deg detected the gamma rays. Data include the doubly differential cross section, d²σ/dΩdE_γ, for gamma-ray energies between 0.3 and 10.6 MeV and the integrated gamma-ray yield as a function of the incident neutron energy.
