Measurements of the Cross-sections of Produced Short-Lived Nuclei Induced by Neutrons around 14MeV on Isotopes of Tungsten

New experimental cross-section data for the ^180W(n,2n)^179\rm mW, ^186W(n,2n)^185\rm mW and ^186W(n,p)^186Ta reactions at the neutron energies of 13.5 and 14.4 MeV are obtained by the activation technique. The neutron beams are produced by means of the ^3H(d,n)^4He reaction. The gamma activities of the product nuclei are measured by a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer with a coaxial high-purity germanium detector. The neutron fluence is determined using the monitor reaction ^93Nb(n,2n)^92\rm mNb. The results in the current work are discussed and compared with the measurement results found in the literature. It is shown that these higher accuracy experimental cross-section data around the neutron energy of 14 MeV agree with some previous experimental values from the literature within experimental uncertainties.
