[en] The cross sections for the reaction ¹⁶⁰Gd(n,2n)¹⁵⁹Gd have been measured experimentally using standard neutron activation analysis (NAA) technique at average neutron energies 10.72±0.95, 14.72±0.86 and 18.72±0.93 MeV. Neutrons were generated by ⁷Li(p,n) reaction and samples were irradiated for production of sufficient activity of the desired isotopes. The offline gamma-ray spectrometric technique has been employed for the measurement of the activity of the samples using HPGe detector. Calculation of flux and cross sections have been done with NAA technique with standard literature data of EXFOR and ENDF database. The experimentally measured cross sections were also calculated and compared using nuclear modular codes: TALYS-1.6 and EMPIRE-3.2.2. The result will be presented during the conference. (author)
