Abstract

The ⁵⁹Co(n, γ)⁶⁰Co reaction cross sections have been measured relative to the cross sections of the ¹¹⁵In (n, γ) ^116mIn monitor reaction at the effective neutron energies of 11.98 and 15.75 MeV by using activation and off-line γ-ray spectrometric technique. We generate and present the covariance information by taking into account various attributes influencing the uncertainties and also the correlations between them. The ⁵⁹Co(n, γ)⁶⁰Co reaction cross sections from the present work have been compared with evaluated nuclear data libraries and theoretical values based on computer code TALYS-1.8.
