Abstract

The cross sections are reproduced in fine steps of incident neutron energy with 0.01MeV intervals with their corresponding errors. The recommended cross sections for available experimental data taken from EXFOR library have been calculated for all the considered neutron induced reactions for Er (Z=68; A=168-170) isotopes. The calculated results are analyzed and compared with the experimental data.
