Activation cross sections for 14 (n, 2n) and 5 (n, p) reactions on xenon isotopes have been determined with 14.6-MeV neutrons using sodium perxenate and Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy. The values obtained are compared to the one earlier set of measurements on the xenon isotopes and to theoretical or empirical values. The ¹²⁸Xe(n,p)¹²⁸I cross section is reported for the first time.
