A STUDY OF THE SYSTEMATICS FOR (n,T) AND (n, 3He) REACTION CROSS SECTIONS AT 14 MeV

Abstract

The systematics charaters of the (n,T) and (n,3He)reaction cross sections have been studied. On the basis of odd-even effect, the systematics formulae of the reaction cross sections are obtained as σu,q=(A1/3+1)2aexp[β(N-Z+δ)/A]. A set of fitting empirical para meters by using the least square method are extracted. For the (n,T) reactions, α and β values are 327.602, 9.592 and -24.495,-14.038, respectively; for (n,3He) reactions, α and β values are 0.918 and -11.340, respectiv ely The (n, T) and (n, 3He) reaction cross sections of some nuclei are calculated by using the theoretical model, and a good agreement with existing data are obtained. In addition, the Ω-value effect and possible reaction mechanism are also discussed.
