Measurement of cross-section for the 139La(n,γ)140la reaction using reflected neutron beam at 0.0334 eV energy

The experimental neutron capture cross-section for the 139La(n, g)140La reaction at 0.0334 eV was measured for the first time using activation technique. The obtained cross-section value amounted to 7.86 ± 0.55 b is in agreement with the evaluated data libraries ENDF/B-VII and JENDL-3.3. Th...
