Activity and activation cross section.
Not what you're looking for?
A cobalt foil, 1 cm diameter x 0.1 mm thick, is irradiated in a mean thermal flux of
10^11 n/cm^2-s for a period of 7 days. If the activation cross section is 36 barns and if the density of cobalt is 8.9 g/cm^3, what is the activity (Bq) at the end of the
irradiation period?
