Cross sections for the 52Cr(n,p)52V reaction have been determined in the 5.3- to 9-MeV range using a previously reported pulsed-accelerator technique to measure gamma-ray activity from 3.75-m 52V. Very few experimental data have been reported for this reaction, and little was known about the threshold region prior to the present experiment. The results of this work (in conjunction with other available cross-section information) have been used in the computation of fission-spectrum averages, which are of interest for reactor applications.
