Investigation of gamma strength functions and level density models effects on photon induced reaction cross–section calculations for the fusion structural materials 46,50Ti, 51V, 58Ni and 63Cu

Determination of nuclear level density based on a fully microscopic statistical partition function method for58Ni

“…The results show that this method can display the behavior of NLD with much more accuracy compared to the common phenomenological models. Such an approach is important for most low-temperature applications, such as the design of fission and fusion reactors (investigating the response of candidate materials for the reactor structure to radiation) [40][41][42], estimating the optimal production of medical and industrial radioisotopes [10,43,44], preparation of valid evaluated nuclear data libraries for simulation of low-energy nuclear processes (using nuclear reaction codes) [45], transmutation of nuclear waste and etc But, it is still important to note that the interacting FGM is a mean-field model that does not fully consider residual interactions (two-body and three-body interactions) and maybe some corrections should be considered for highertemperature applications (for example, to simulate nuclear reactions and nucleosynthesis in high-energy astrophysical conditions) where the effects of residual interactions and quantum chaos become important [46][47][48]. In such a situation, using methods such as the moment method (or spectral distribution method) without the need for diagonalization can be useful [49,50].…”

Statistical analysis of proton induced reactions to generate recommended data for the production of medical radio-isotopes

“…(v) Photon strength function 5 (PSF-5): Goriely's hybrid model [23]. For each level density model we can incorporate eight gamma ray strength function based on which we can have wide range of variation for simulating nuclear reactions [24,25,26].…”

Calculation of Mass Attenuation Coefficients for Pedicle Screw by Theoretical and Monte Carlo Simulation Methods

“…It was used to calculate theoretical values of the halfvalue layer and mass attenuation coefficients (µm) of the samples for γ-rays at photon energies of 60 -250 keV [36]. In nuclear physics, numerous computer codes, based on analytical approximations [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and MC techniques [37][38][39][40][41][42][43], are widely used by researchers. MC techniques can be used in the solution of probabilistic processes such as radiation transport as well as in a complex integral calculation that is not practical to solve [44].…”
