“…The Surrogate approach was originally introduced in the 1970s [4,5] and has recently received renewed attention [6]- [17]. Both the early and the more recent applications of the method have focused primarily on cross section estimates for neutron-induced fission for actinide targets, although a few experiments have been designed to obtain (n,γ) cross sections for some rare earth and actinide nuclei.…”

Abstract. The Surrogate nuclear reactions method, an indirect approach for determining cross sections for compoundnuclear reactions involving difficult-to-produce targets, is reviewed. The underlying formalism is outlined, the challenges involved in carrying out a complete Surrogate treatment are detailed, and the present status of the theory is summarized. The approximations employed in the analyses of Surrogate experiments are discussed and their validity is examined.
