Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

The total neutron cross section of 58Fe has been determined in the energy range from 7 to 325 keV by a transmission measurement using samples enriched in the 58Fe isotope. The data have been shape-fitted by means of an R matrix multilevel formalism to extract resonance parameters for s and l > 0 wave resonances. The s-wave strength function was determined to S0 = (4.3 ± 1.9) × 10-4.
