Abstract
Neutron Induced reactions on different target nuclei have get impact on many nuclear basic sciences and applications. Due to the lack of literature available experimental data for many targets, empirical formulae for the (n, p) reactions cross section on different targets and different incident neutron energies are formulated. The formulae are used for calculation of excitation functions for target isotopes having atomic numbers in the range from 21 to 51 and neutron energies from 20 MeV down to respective threshold energy of each reaction. The results are compared to the existing experimental results as well as the TENDL-2019 database values.
