Cross section for inelastic neutron scattering from 193Ir at 6 MeV.

Two samples, one of natural iridium and the other of enriched 193Ir, were irradiated with a monoenergetic neutron beam of energy 6.0 MeV at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory. The product of the 193Ir [Formula: see text] Ir reaction was determined by means of measuring X-rays following electron conversion of the isomeric state at 80.2 keV in 193Ir. The cross section for inelastic neutron scattering is reported disagreeing with the literature data.
