摘要
Measurements of the neutron radiative-capture cross section of Xe-124 have been performed for the first time for neutron energies above 100 keV. In addition, data for the Xe-124(n, 2n)Xe-123 reaction cross section have been obtained from threshold to 14.8 MeV to cover the entire energy range of interest, while previous data existed only at around 14 MeV. The results of these measurements provide the basis for an alternative and sensitive diagnostic tool for investigating properties of the inertial confinement fusion plasma in deuterium-tritium (DT) capsules at the National Ignition Facility located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Here, areal density rho R (density x radius) of the fuel, burn asymmetry, and fuel-ablator mix are of special interest. The Xe-124(n, gamma)Xe-125 reaction probes the down-scattered neutrons, while the Xe-124(n, 2n)Xe-123 reaction provides a measure of the 14 MeV direct neutrons.
