How do I solve this entire question? Please show all steps and read question carefully. Nuclear reaction notation is in the "X(a,b)Y" where a= projectile, b= ejectile, X= target, Y= Heavy residual.
4. The figure below shows the largest neutron-induced reaction cross sections on 230 Pu up to En= 20 MeV in a linear-linear plot EXCEPT for the total and fission cross sections. 5 10 15 20 5 4 1 4 3 3 TTTTTTTTT TITT TITT Cross Section (barns) 2 2 2 4 1 5 W 10 15 20 0 Incident Energy (MeV) a. Label the reactions in the table below using nuclear reaction notation (2.5 pts.) Label 1 2 I w 4 5 b. Use this plot to determine the approximate neutron separation energy in 239 Pu and 94P 238Pu. Show your reasoning (2 pts.)?c. Assume that a beam of 101\" 20 MeV neutrons per second are incident on a 1 mm thick 232191.: foil. The density of 232191;. is 19.9 g/cm3 and you may assume that the mole weight of 232191.: is 239 g. How many 231131.: are created per second (2 pts.)? The half-life of 231191;. is 45.64 days. Approximately what is the activity due to the 231m in the foil after 1 gear of irradiation (1 pts.)? ZgiPu eventually decays to 2333i. List all of the particles emitted this decay chain (3 pts.) The yrast rotational band in 233131.: can be populated via the (as, 05') reaction using an a-particle beam of 40 MeV. What is the angle and energy of the scattered a. that would correspond to the excitation of the yrast 4* level at Ex = 146 keV? (2 pts.) CONSTANTS CO.
