The monoenergetic neutron beams were produced via the $^{2}\mathrm{H}$($d,n$)$^{3}\mathrm{He}$ reaction. GaAs samples were activated along with Au and Al monitor foils to determine the incident neutron flux. The activities induced by the reaction products were measured using high-resolution $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy. Cross sections for five reaction channels, viz., $^{69}\mathrm{Ga}$($n,2n$)$^{68}\mathrm{Ga}$, $^{69}\mathrm{Ga}$($n,p$)$^{69}\mathrm{Zn}$${}^{m}$, $^{71}\mathrm{Ga}$($n,p$)$^{71}\mathrm{Zn}$${}^{m}$, $^{75}\mathrm{As}$($n,2n$)$^{74}\mathrm{As}$, and $^{75}\mathrm{As}$($n,p$)$^{75}\mathrm{Ge}$, are reported. The results are compared with the previous measurements and available data evaluations. Statistical-model calculations, based on the Hauser-Feshbach formalism, have been carried out using the TALYS and the COH3 codes and are compared with the experimental results.}, number={4}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW C}, author={Raut, R. and Crowell, A.

The dominant background processes in this class of systems were measured by studying the detection of U238 with a quasimonochromatic (ΔE∕E∼3%) photon beam. A notch develops in the spectrum transmitted through our test objects due to the preferential attenuation of photons with an energy that resonantly excites a bound nuclear state in U238 near 2 MeV. The notch was measured downstream of our test objects by means of resonant photon scattering from a secondary U238 target. The dominant backgrounds measured in the notch detector due to radioactive decay and elastic scattering of the transmitted beam are presented. Processes that refill the notch with off-resonance photons will obscure the signal and result in a higher probability of false negatives. A measurement of the refill process produced a null result, and we report an upper limit on the magnitude of the notch fill factor.}, number={8}, journal={Journal of Applied Physics}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Hagmann, C.
