In this study, the calculations of proton emission spectra produced by 58Ni (n, xp) reaction are used in the framework of preequilibrium models with the EMPIRE and TALYS codes. Exciton Model predictions combined with the Kalbach angular distributions systematics and statistical Multi-step Direct (MSD) with Multi-step Compound (MSC) processes preequilibrium models were used. Also, some necessary parameters as optical model, level density, level density a-parameter and single-particle level density parameter have been investigated for our calculations. The comparison with experimental data shows clear improvement over the Exciton and MSD with MSC models calculations.
Abstract.Copper is one of the constituents of alloys for structural components and a dosimetry material. In this study, we calculated the proton emission spectra and the excitation function produced by (n, xp) and (n, p) reactions respectively by using the Exciton model predictions combined with the Kalbach angular distribution systematics and the Hybrid Monte-Carlo Simulation (HMS). The sensitivity studies on the input parameters from optical model, level density, spin cut-off parameter and mean free path have been investigated for our calculations with the code EMPIRE and the code TALYS. The proton emission spectra and the excitation function for 65 Cu nucleus were discussed and found in good agreement with the available experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
