3.1 Neutron Capture Cross Section<br />

The neutron capture cross sections for 151,153 Eu were obtained by the following relation:<br />

where the subscript “S” means an objective nuclide of 151 Eu or 153 Eu. Ns and xs are the atomic density<br />

and sample thickness, cs(En) is the neutron capture cross section, Ys(En) is the energy dependent<br />

neutron capture yield, φ0(En) is the incident neutron flux on the sample and ƒcs(En) is the correction<br />

function. The correction for the neutron self-shielding and multiple scattering in each sample was<br />

made by the MCNP-4C (Monte-Carlo Code for Neutron and Photon Transport, version 4C) [2] with<br />

the nuclear data taken from JENDL-4.0 [3]. As for 153 Eu, the correction for the capture yields due to<br />

the isotopic impurity in the sample was also done by using the present results of 151 Eu. The methods to
