Neutron inelastic scattering measurements on the stable isotopes of titanium

The results of a neutron inelastic scattering experiment performed at the GELINA (Geel Electron Linear Accelerator) pulsed white neutron source of the EC-JRC (European Commission Joint Research Centre) are reported. The neutrons with energies up to 18 MeV interacted with a natTi sample and the gamma rays resulting from inelastic scattering reactions on the stable isotopes were detected using the GAINS (Gamma Array for Inelastic Neutron Scattering) spectrometer. We were able to measure the gamma-production cross sections for 21 transitions in the stable Ti isotopes. From these, the level cross sections and the total inelastic cross sections were determined. Our experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations performed using the talys 1.8 code, evaluated nuclear data libraries, and also with previously reported results.JRC.G.2-Standards for Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguard
