Double differential cross sections of proton emission in neutron induced reaction on 27Al

Double differential sections for proton emission on aluminium are presented for 40 MeV incident neutron energies. Angular distributions, energy differential and total production cross sections are obtained. The results are compared to existing data and to nuclear model calculations which include pre...

Description
Summary:Double differential sections for proton emission on aluminium are presented for 40 MeV incident neutron energies. Angular distributions, energy differential and total production cross sections are obtained. The results are compared to existing data and to nuclear model calculations which include preequilibrium and compound decay mechanisms. The EMPIRE code treats these mechanisms in the framework of TUL model for multistep direct and NVWY model for multistep compound. The Hauser Feshbach theory is used to calculate emission from the compound nucleus, with a full conservation of spin and parity.
