The cross-sections for the $$^{187}$$ 187 Re(n,p) $$^{187}$$ 187 W and $$^{185}$$ 185 Re(n,3n) $$^{183}$$ 183 Re reactions in the energy range between 13.08 MeV and 19.50 MeV

Using the NAXSUN technique developed at the JRC-Geel, the cross section functions for the neutron induced reactions $$^{187}$$ Re(n,p) $$^{187}$$ W and $$^{185}$$ Re(n,3n) $$^{183}$$ Re have been measured in the energy range between 13.08 MeV and 19.5 MeV. These data are the first experimentally obtained values for those nuclear reactions in this neutron energy range. Obtained results have been compared with existing evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII 0, JEFF 3.3, JEFF 3.2, BROND 3.1, JEF - 2.2, JENDL, ROSFO ND-2010, TENDL-2017, EAF-2010, FENDL-3.1c. The TALYS 1.9 and EMPIRE 3.2.3 calculations were performed using different available models and calculations using several semi-empirical existing formulas. A comparison between theoretical model calculations and experimental results was made.
