Cross Sections Calculation of (γ,N) Reactions for Some Elements

Abstract

Photonuclear processes can play an important role in the detection of nuclear materials. For this purpose, in this study, the (γ,n) and (γ,p) cross sections as functions of photon energy in medium weight nuclei were calculated. Calculations have been made of the cross sections for some of the (γ,n) and (γ,p)

Theoretical Photoneutron Cross Sections and the Effect of Gamma Strength Functions for W, Ag, Nb

“…In this study, the theoretical photoneutron cross sections of 186 W, 107 Ag and 93 Nb in photon-induced reactions have been calculated using TALYS 1.6 [19,20] nuclear calculations. The calculated results have been compared with experimental data existing in the EXFOR [21] database.…”

“…The basic objective behind its construction is the simulation of nuclear reactions that involve neutrons, photons, protons, deuterons, tritons, 3 He and alphaparticles. TALYS integrates the optical model, direct, preequilibrium, fission and statistical nuclear reaction models in one calculation scheme and gives a prediction for all open reaction channels.…”

“…Calculations of theoretical cross section are based on these gamma-ray strength function models [20]. Current study was performed for energy range of the giant dipole resonance region (GDR).…”

“…In some studies, only cross sections of photoneutrons and photoprotons have been investigated [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. At the same time, theoretical cross sections have been calculated with TALYS 1.6 in some other studies [15][16][17].…”

Detailed Analysis of Differential Cross Sections of Elastic Scattering for n+208Pb Reaction

“…In addition to the existing experimental studies, theoretical differential cross sections are studied for different target nuclei, depending on the energetics [13][14][15][16][17]. At the same time, theoretical cross sections have been calculated with TALYS 1.6 nuclear reaction simulation code in some studies [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
