Answer to Question #190934 in Atomic and Nuclear Physics for Abdul

Question

An S-wave (l = 0) resonance in the total cross section for neutrons incident on 238U is observed at a center-of-mass energy En = 115 eV. The total width of the resonance is 94 x 10-3 eV and the peak cross section is 19 200 b. Calculate the partial widths n and , for neutron and emission (assuming that these are the only final channels populated) and the peak cross section for the (n, y) capture reaction. Assume that , >n
