Abstract

The ³⁵Cl(n, p) and the ³⁶Cl(n, p) reactions are of great importance for astrophysics. Several silver chloride samples were evaporated on platinum coated aluminium backings. The sample definition has been achieved by combining destructive and non-destructive methods. The isotopic composition of the ³⁶Cl-enriched material was verified. Pulse height spectra of ³⁵Cl(n_th, p) and ³⁶Cl(n_th, p) are shown. The samples prepared and assayed in this way have proven to fulfil the experimental requirements and have been used to determine the reaction cross sections of ³⁵Cl(n_th, p) and ³⁶Cl(n_th, p).
