A method for energy-loss and range calculations based on empirical approximations

Cross sections of α-induced reactions for targets with masses A ≈ 20–50 at low energies

“…The agreement with the StM calculation is good for the 48 Ti(α,p) 51 V reaction although the experimental results are slightly overestimated at the upper and lower end of the measured energy interval. It is interesting to note that the NON-SMOKER calculation for the 48 Ti(α,p) 51 Cr reaction deviates from the TALYS calculation, leading to better agreement at higher and lower energies, but underestimation in the middle.…”

“…In the mass range under study the Gamow window is found at E red ≈ 0.29 MeV for T 9 = 1 (where T 9 is the temperature in Giga-Kelvin); the variation between 21 Ne (E red = 0.293 MeV) and 51 V (E red = 0.279 MeV) is practically negligible (and even for heavy nuclei like 208 Pb a close value of E red = 0.264 MeV is found for T 9 = 1). T 9 = 2 corresponds to E red ≈ 0.45 MeV, and T 9 = 3 corresponds to E red ≈ 0.59 MeV for all nuclei under study in this work.…”

“…As the ATOMKI-V1 potential and the Avrigeanu potential have not been optimized for the mass range under study in this work, reduced cross sections σ red for the nuclei 51 V, 36 Ar, and 21 Ne have been calculated from the McFadden/Satchler potential (full black lines in Fig. 1).…”

“…All experiments have applied activation techniques. The precision data for the 48 Ti(α,n) 51 Cr reaction by Vonach et al [57] have been obtained by measuring the induced activity by γ-spectroscopy. The same technique was used by Morton et al [67] and Baglin et al [68] whereas Chang el al.…”

“…The same technique was used by Morton et al [67] and Baglin et al [68] whereas Chang el al. [66] used X-ray spectroscopy of the 4.95 keV X-ray which is emitted in 51 V after the electron capture decay of 51 Cr. Iguchi et al [60] used the stacked-foils technique and γ-spectroscopy.…”
