“…An implementation for TALYS is underway. • Primary γ -rays from the compound nucleus directly to discrete states or the ground state could be taken from a combination of experimental and evaluated data from the Evaluated Gamma-ray Activation File (EGAF) database [221] and simulations, such as currently done by the code Dicebox [222]. • Quantum-mechanical pre-equilibrium models could be implemented.…”

TALYS: modeling of nuclear reactions

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

TALYS is a software package for the simulation of nuclear reactions below 200 MeV. It is used worldwide for the analysis and prediction of nuclear reactions and is based on state-of-art nuclear structure and nuclear reaction models. A general overview of the implemented physics and capabilities of TALYS is given. The general nuclear reaction mechanisms described are the optical model, direct reactions, compound nucleus model, pre-equilibrium reactions and fission. The most important nuclear structure models are those for masses, discrete levels, level densities, photon strength functions and fission barriers. A wide variety of nuclear reactions simulated with TALYS will be demonstrated, ranging from low-energy neutron cross sections, astrophysics, highenergy charged particle reactions and other reactions. TALYS is a nuclear reaction software which aims to give a complete description of nuclear reaction observables, and to be an important link between fundamental nuclear physics and applications.Eur.

“…The evaluated gamma ray activation file (EGAF) is a database of neutron capture γ ray energies and cross sections prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency [39]. This database was formed by merging elemental γ spectrum measurements taken in 2002 at the Budapest Research Reactor using a high-purity germanium detector with nuclear structure data [60]. By comparing the GEANT4 spectra with the EGAF database, the uncertainty in the NR spectrum was estimated.…”

Feasibility Study to use Neutron Capture for an Ultra-low Energy Nuclear-recoil Calibration in Liquid Xenon

The feasibility of an ultra-low energy nuclear-recoil measurement in liquid xenon using neutron capture is investigated for a small (sub-kilogram) liquid xenon detector that is optimized for a high scintillation gain, and a pulsed neutron source. The measurement uses the recoil energies imparted to xenon nuclei during the de-excitation process following neutron capture, where promptly emitted γ cascades can provide the nuclei with up to 0.3 keVnr of recoil energy due to conservation of momentum. A successful calibration of scintillation photon and ionization electron yields below this energy will contribute to a greater sensitivity for liquid xenon experiments in searches for light WIMPs.

Abstract. NUCLEONICA is a new nuclear science web portal from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. The portal provides a customisable, integrated environment and collaboration platform for the nuclear sciences using the latest internet "Web 2.0" dynamic technology. NUCLEONICA is aimed at professionals, academics and students working with radionuclides in fields as diverse as the life sciences (e.g., biology, medicine, agriculture), the earth sciences (geology, meteorology, environmental science) and the more traditional disciplines such as nuclear power, health physics and radiation protection, nuclear and radio-chemistry, and astrophysics. It is also used as a knowledge management tool to preserve nuclear knowledge built up over many decades by creating modern webbased versions of so-called legacy computer codes.
