Measurement of cross section of (n, γ) reaction for, iodine, sodium and vanadium in the energy range 1keV to 4MeV using accelerator based neutron source.

Highlights: [•] The neutron cross sections were measured at continuous energy spectrum. [•] The cross sections of reactions have been calculated using the TALYS-1.2 and EMPIRE nuclear models codes. [•] The calculations were carried out using different choices of the level density. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
