Measurement of ⁶⁴Zn(n,2n)⁶³Zn and ⁶⁷Zn(n,p)⁶⁷Cu reaction cross sections at neutron energies of 17.10 ± 0.82 and 14.98 ± 0.81 MeV

Cross sections for the ⁶⁴Zn(n,2n)⁶³Zn and ⁶⁷Zn(n,p)⁶⁷Cu reactions were measured at neutron energies of 17.10 ± 0.82 and 14.98 ± 0.81 MeV by neutron activation techniques and offline γ-ray spectroscopy method. Production of neutron was done by ⁷Li \((p,n)\) $(p,n)$ reaction. The ²⁷Al \((n,\alpha )\) $(n,\alpha )$ ²⁴Na reaction was used as a neutron flux monitor. Estimations were performed using TALYS-1.95 and EMPIRE 3.2.2 codes with default values. The measured cross sections were compared with literature data taken from the EXFOR database and the latest evaluated data from the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JEFF-3.3, JENDL-5.0 and TENDL-2021 libraries.
