Abstract	Two experiments were performed at the Tandem accelerator of the Horia Hulubei National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, IFIN-HH with the purpose to investigate the possibility to use alpha-induced reactions for the calculation of neutron inelastic cross sections based on the Bohr hypothesis of the compound nucleus. A first experiment compared the gamma production cross sections excited in the $^{25}$Mg($\alpha, n\gamma$ )$^{28}$Si and the $^{28}Si(n, n′\gamma)^{28}$Si reactions. A second measurement, supported by the ERINDA project, was dedicated to the measurement of $^{70}Zn(\alpha, n\gamma )^{73}$Ge cross sections with the purpose of inferring the neutron inelastic cross sections on $^{73}$Ge.
