Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Cross sections were measured for the first time in the 5.4- to 10.6-MeV energy range for the 90Zr(n,p)90mY, 91 Zr(n,p)9lmY, 92Zr(n,p)92Y, 90Zr(n,a)87mSr, 94Zr(n,α)91Sr, and 96Zr(n,2n)95Zr reactions. The quasi-monoenergetic neutrons were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction using a deuterium gas target at a variable energy compact cyclotron. Use was made of the activation technique in combination with high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. Some trends in the excitation functions are discussed.
