Abstract
The , and cross sections have been inferred by utilizing the surrogate ratio method. Targets of and were bombarded with 28.5-MeV protons, and the light ion recoils, as well as fission fragments, were detected using the STARS detector array at the K150 Cyclotron at the Texas A&M cyclotron facility. The (, ) reaction on and targets was used to deduce the ratio, and the cross section was subsequently determined for MeV. Similarly, the ) reaction on the same two targets was used to deduce the ratio, and the cross section was extracted in the energy range MeV. The cross section was also deduced by utilizing the reaction channel on the same targets. There is good agreement with the recent ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluated cross section data for in the range MeV and for in the range MeV; however, the cross section deduced in the present work is higher than the evaluation between 2 and 7 MeV.
