Analyzing Power Of The Neutron Continuum Spectrum For The Nb-93(P-],Nx) Reaction At 65 Mev And A-Dwba Analysis

Abstract The analyzing power of neutron continuum spectrum for the 93 Nb( →p , nX) reaction at 65 MeV was measured for a wide angular range ϑ n = 20° – 130°. The analyzing powers are positive and large at large angles ϑ n > 40°. The characteristic features in the analyzing power for the 93 Nb( →p, nX ) reaction are very similar to those for the 93 Nb( →p , p'X) reaction indicating the importance of a common reaction mechanism for both reactions. A DWBA calculation was performed and compared with the data. The calculation for E X = 14 MeV reproduced the cross sections but failed to reproduce the analyzing powers.
