Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n+14N at 14.2 MeV

By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of n 14N reactions at En = 14.2 MeV has been analyzed. In the case of n 14N reactions, the reaction mechanism is very complex, there are over one hundred opened partial reaction channels even at incident energy En = 14.2 MeV. In this paper the opened reaction channels are listed in detail. With LUNF code the model calculation is performed to analyze the doubledifferential cross sections of total outgoing neutron. The calculated results agree fairly with the experimental data. The results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil effect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important. 5He emission has been considered, but it is only a small contribution to the double-differential cross section at incident energy En = 14.2 MeV.

Theoretical Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n ＋^19F at 14.2 MeV

A new light nuclear reaction model has been developed and the double-differential measurements of lp shell nuclei have been analyzed successfully. Now, the application of this model is expanded to 19F of the 2s-ld shell nucleus. The double-differential cross section of total outgoing neutron for n ＋^19F reactions at En=14.2 MeV has been calculated and analyzed, which agrees fairly well with the experimental measurements. In this paper, the contributions from different reaction channels to the double-differential cross sections have been analyzed in detail. The calculations indicate that this light nudear reaction model is also able to be used for the 2s-ld shell nucleus so long as the related level scheme couM be provided sufficiently.     

Calculation of Double—Differential Cross Sections of n＋^7Li Reactions Below 20 MeV

A new reaction model for light nuclei is proposed to analyze the measured data,especially for analysis of the double-differential cross sections of the outgoing particles.Many channels arc opened in the n + 7Li reaction below En＜ 20 MeV.The reaction mechanism is very complex,beside the sequential emissions there are also three-body breakup processes.Because of a strong recoil effect of light nucleus reactions,the energy balance is strictly taken into account.The comparisons of the calculated results with the double-differential measurements indicate that the model calculations are successful for the total outgoing neutrons.     

Theoretical Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Sections of n+ 9Be Reactions

By using the nuclear reaction model for light nuclei, the calculations of the double-differential cross sections of outgoing neutrons from n+⁹Be reactions are performed. The total outgoing neutrons are only come from the (n, 2n)2α reaction channel. The (n,2n)2α reaction channel is achieved through sixdifferent reaction approach, which are illustrated in this paper. The calculated results agree very well with the measured data at E_n = 7.1, 8.09, 8.17, 9.09, 9.97 and 10.26 MeV, because the updated level schemes related to the n+⁹Be reactions have been employed in this calculations.     

Further Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n ＋ ^16O at 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV

By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of total outgoing neutron with LUNF code for n＋^16O reactions at En=14.1 MeV and 18 MeV have been calculated and analyzed. In this paper the opened reaction channels, which have contribution to emitting the neutrons, are listed in detail. To improve the fitting results the direct inelastic scattering mechanism is involved. The calculating results agree fairly well with the experimental data at E,~ = 14.1 MeV and the deviation from calculated results and experimental data in low energy region at En= 18 MeV has been analyzed. Since the possibility of 5He has been affirmed theoretically [J.S. Zhang, Sci. Chin. G 47 （2004） 137], so 5He emission from n＋ ^16O reaction is taken into account, which plays an important role at the region of the outgoing neutron energy εn〈3 MeV in total outgoing neutron energy-angular spectrum. The calculated results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil effect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important.     

Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Sections for n ＋ ^12 C Reaction Below 30 MeV

Based on the light nucleus reaction model （Nucl. Sci. Eng. 133 （1999） 218）, four aspects （neutron incident energy region, reaction channel analysis, the renewed level schemes and the optical model parameters） of n＋ ^12 C reaction are improved to calculate total outgoing neutron double-dilferential cross sections with modified LUNF code below 30 MeV. The calculated results agree fairly well with the experimental data at En = 14.1 MeV and 18 MeV. The analysis shows that the pre-equilibrium mechanism, which is exactly considered the conservation of energy, momentum and parity, dominates the whole reaction process. The contribution of the neutron emission from 5He to total energy- angular spectra is also considered properly. This modified LUNF code will be a useful tool to set up the file of neutron double-differential crass sections below 30 Me V in the neutron evaluation nuclear data library.

Double-Differential Cross Section of 5He Emission

The probability of ⁵He particle emission has been affirmed theoretically [J.S. Zhang, Science in China G47 (2004) 137]. In order to describe the ⁵He emission, the theoretical formula of the double-differential cross section of emitted ⁵He is to be established. Based on the pick-up mechanism, used for calculating the formula of d, t, ³He, α emissions, the theoretical formula of double-differential cross section of ⁵He is obtained, which is expressed in the form of Legendre coefficients. In the case of low incident energies, the configuration [J.S. Zhang, Science in China G47 (2004) 137; J.S. Zhang, Commun. Theor. Phys. (Beijing, China) 39 (2003) 83] is the dominant part in the reaction processes. The calculated result indicates that the forward peaked angular distribution of the composite particle emission is weaker than that of the emitted single nucleon due to pick-up nucleon from the Fermi sea. As an example, the reactions of n+¹⁴N have been calculated, and the Legendre coefficients of d, t, ³He, α, ⁵He emissions are obtained respectively. The results show that the forward tendency is decided by the average momentum per nucleon in the emitted composite particles. The larger the average momentum is, the stronger the forward tendency is.
