The 238U(e, n) 237U cross section and the decay of states excited by virtual photons
Abstract
The total cross section for the reaction 238(e, n) 237U has been measured for electron energies between 20MeV and 120MeV. The cross section is analysed into E1 and E2 multipole components. A value of Γ n/Γ f for the E2 component is deduced assuming that the strength of this component is concentrated between 9 and 11 MeV in excitation energy.
