Activation cross section and isomeric cross-section ratio for the 151 Eu(n,2n) 150m,g Eu process

A review of (n,p) and (n,α) nuclear cross sections on palladium nuclei using different level density models and empirical formulas

The critical works about nuclear science and technology depend on nuclear data. Cross section data of (n,p) and (n,α) reactions on ^{102,105,106,108,110}Pd isotopes were calculated for projectile energies from threshold to 20 MeV. Here, the effects on nuclear excitation functions of different level density models were studied using ALICE/ASH and TALYS 1.6 computer codes. Besides, for (n,p) and (n,α) reactions in energy range of 14-15 MeV, numerous empirical formulas, obtained by various authors, were also used for predicting the cross sections. Hence, a comparison of the simulation results and experimental values was presented together with the data calculated by the empirical formulas.
