TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the surrogate reaction method to extract neutron-induced fission cross sections of short-lived actinides in the rare-earth region of the United States.
Abstract: The measurement of neutron-induced cross sections of short-lived nuclei is extremely difficult due to the radioactivity of the samples. The surrogate reaction method is an indirect way of determining cross sections for nuclear reactions that proceed through a compound nucleus. This method presents the advantage that the target material can be stable or less radioactive than the material required for a neutron-induced measurement. We have successfully used the surrogate reaction method to extract neutron-induced fission cross sections of various short-lived actinides. In this work, we investigate whether this technique can be used to determine neutron-induced capture cross sections in the rare-earth region.

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative to generate resonance region evaluation on the basis of the R-matrix theory in the resolved and unresolved energy regions is presented, which leverages over the knowledge of information such as thermal cross section values, Westcott factor, resonance integral, coherent and incoherent scattering lengths, scattering radius and more important, knowledge of average resonance parameters.
