Neutron capture cross sections from surrogate reaction data and theory: connecting the pieces with a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo approach

Oliver Gorton, Jutta E. Escher

The neutron capture cross section for ${}^{90}Zr(n,\gamma )$ has recently been determined using surrogate ${}^{92}Zr(p,d\gamma )$ data and nuclear reaction theory. That work employed an approxim…
