The Effect of Fluctuations in the Widths on Neutron Reaction Cross Sections (open access)

The Effect of Fluctuations in the Widths on Neutron Reaction Cross Sections

The general Wigner-Eisenbud theory is used to develop a method of analysis for the cross sections of fissionable nuclei. The method is employed in giving a reasonable description of the low energy cross sections in U/sup 235/. The single level fit for U/sup 235/ is known to be unreasonable. Many level expressions for the cross sections are derived--the only approximation to the general theory being the neglect of all but a small group of resonances. It is shown that regardless of the number or definition of the fission channels the many-level expressions require few level parameters: the E/sub lambda /, GAMMA / sub lambda n/, GAMMA /sub lambda gamma / and GAMMA /sub lambda F/ of the single level theory for each resonance and a few additional parameters pertinent to the interference between levels. The interference terms are described and shown to be important. The shape and size of the U/sup 235/ cross sections below 2 ev are fitied to within one per cent using (a) only one negative energy resonance of smaller size than in the single level fits (b) no additional levels to fit the shape other than the observed levels at positive energies (c) three interference parameters …
