Theoretical investigation of cross sections and astrophysical S-factors for the⁹²Mo(α,n)⁹⁵Ru and⁹⁴Mo(α,n)⁹⁷Ru reactions

Abstract

Abstract.Molybdenum is commonly applied as a constructive material in different types of nuclear reactors. The cross sections of the 92 Mo(α,n) 95 Ru and 94 Mo(α,n) 97 Ru reactions have been calculated at 5-20 MeV energy ranges. In theoretical calculations, the TALYS1.6 and NON-SMOKER codes were used. Also the astrophysical S-factors were calculated. Results of our calculations were checked to the experimental data obtained from EXFOR database.
