Cross sections for the <sup>54</sup>Fe(n, n′) <sup>54</sup>Fe and <sup>54</sup>Fe(n, p′) <sup>54</sup>Mn reactions deduced from the detection of de-excitation γ rays
γ -ray production cross sections have been deduced for reactions with incident neutrons having energies from 1.5 - 4.7 MeV. Similar measurements were made on a natural Ti sample to establish an absolute normalization. The resulting γ-ray production cross sections are compared to TENDL and TALYS calculations, as well as data from previous measurements. The models are found to describe the production cross sections for most γ rays observed from 54 Mn and 54 Fe rather well.
