title: Cross-section measurements for (n, 2n) and (n, alpha) reactions on yttrium at neutron energies from 13.5 to 14.6 MeV.
abstract: The cross sections for the reactions (89)Y(n, 2n) (88m+g)Y and (89)Y(n, alpha) (86m+g)RB induced by 14MeV neutrons have been measured using the activation technique and a coaxial HPGe gamma-ray detector. Spectroscopically pure Y(2)O(3) powder was used. Fast neutrons were produced by the T(d, n) (4)He reaction. The neutron fluencies were determined using the monitor reaction (93)Nb(n, 2n) (92m)Nb.
