| + | ====== Cross Sections====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To add in reaction rates, as above, obviously one needs to find some reaction rates. Unfortunately, these don't exist at the temperatures and energy distributions of interest, as far as the authors are aware. Instead, we used the Ramsauer model, with parameters from Gowder et. al. 2005 to find total scattering cross sections. We then took a nominal value of 10% for the destruction cross sections. See the presentation for details. The cross sections were then put into a reaction rate, using a dirac function distribution of neutron energies. | ||
