2 Neutron Flux The collisions of neutrons of all energies is given by FF = ΣΣ ii 0 EE φφ EE dddd All volumetric reactions (fissions, scattering, absorption, etc.) are proportional to φφ RR ii rr = ΣΣ ii φφ rr For reactions other than with neutrons, the same equation applies, with μμ ii replacing Σ ii
3 Showing All Dependencies Flux generally depends on energy, time, and position φφ rr, EE, tt = NN pp rr, EE, tt vv EE Volumetric reaction has same dependencies RR rr, EE, tt = μμ ii rr, EE, tt φφ rr, EE, tt = ΣΣ ii rr, EE, tt φφ rr, EE, tt Commonly, neutrons are divided into energy groups by energy, so that within each group: RR rr, EE, tt dddd = ΣΣ ii rr, EE, tt φφ rr, EE, tt dddd

11 Photon (γ-ray) Interactions Photoelectric effect Generally decreasing absorption with increasing energy Indicative of elemental/nuclear structure. γ-ray absorbed Low energy products Pair Production Increasing absorption with increasing energy Depends on Z (happens in Coulomb field near nucleus) γ-ray absorbed Low energy products Compton Effect Generally decreasing absorption with increasing energy Depends on electron structure and hence Z γ-ray remitted Small energy change
12 Photoelectric effect γ-ray is absorbed Photoelectric effect depends on γ-ray energy and Z electron ejection, generally from the K, L, or M levels X-ray or Auger electron emission follows electron and x-ray/auger emission generally low energy compared to γ-ray cross section designated as σ pe with interactions/volume given by INσ pe as usual Cross section depends on Z n where n is about 4, as on following graph (2 nd from here)

28 Fission Fusion Fission
29 Fissile vs Fissionable Critical energy = E crit = energy to cause fission If binding energy of n X(n,) n+1 X for near-zero kinetic energy electron is greater than E crit, material is fissile. Examples include 233 U, 235 U, 239 Pu, and 241 Pu. Nuclei requiring additional (typically neutron kinetic) energy are fissionable.
